ABSTRACT:
A contact lens device is disclosed. The device is designed to facilitate the application of a contact lens, particularly an extended wear type contact lens, onto an eye of a wearer. The device includes an applicator preferably made of a conformable material. The applicator has a contoured surface designed to substantially engage and hold the contact lens while the wearer moves the contact lens into proximity with one of his eyes. The applicator is also sufficiently deformable to permit the contact lens to be pressed into substantial contact with the wearer's eye where the superior adhesion between the corneal surface of the eye and the contact lens removes the lens from the applicator when the applicator is pulled away by the wearer.
