A pair of removable and adjustable lens-removers are provided, one for each free end of the pair of legs. Each lens-remover has an elongated reed-like member that is frictionally held between a respective free end of one of the pair of legs and its respective retaining sleeve. Each lens-remover has a soft tip at one end of the reed-like member, which soft tips contact and remove a soft contact-lens from an eye.
