ABSTRACT:
The fitter-remover is comprised of a device by means of which it is possible to fit a contact lens on the user's eye and/or remove it without having to touch it with one's fingers. The device includes a body (1) with a cylindric part having a diametral notch (2), defining both legs (3) with the free ends thereof feather-edged and having a concavity (4) complementary to the convexity that the back of the corresponding lens has, body (1) which also has a flat extension opposite that cylindric part to form the handle. The device rests by means of its concave end (4) on the convex surface of the contact lens (5), the contact lens remaining adhered in order to be fit on the user's eye, while the removal is done by resting the closed legs (3) of the tweezer on the convexity of the contact lens, effecting afterwards slight pressure of the contact lens by means of transversal pressure with one's fingers, producing the detachment of the lens from one's eye.
