Which of the following steps is correct in removing a client's soft contact lens?

A) Gently pinch the lens and lift it out
B) Have the client look up
C) Pull the lower eyelid upward
D) Use the pad of the ring finger

The correct step in removing a soft contact lens is to gently pinch the lens and lift it out. This is done with the thumb and index finger, and requires gentle pressure to avoid damaging the lens or eye. Having the client look up or pulling the lower eyelid upward may be helpful in locating the lens, but they are not the actual steps in removing the lens. Using the pad of the ring finger is not recommended as it may damage the lens or cause discomfort to the client.
