ABSTRACT:
A device for inserting and removing contact lenses comprises a vertical riser which separates a horizontal supporting bar and a horizontal stabilizing base. On end of the supporting bar is attached to the riser and the other end holds a transparent holder for a contact lens. The stabilizing base extends away from the riser in the same direction as the supporting bar and provides stability to the apparatus. The contact lens holder has an alignment spot in its center. The stabilizing base has an alignment spot directly beneath the alignment spot of the contact lens holder. To insert a contact lens, the lens is placed on a moistened lens holder. The user aligns the two spots and approaches the lens while maintaining alignment. Once contact is made, the lens will adhere to the eye. Removal of the lens is carried out in a similar manner using a dry lens holder.
