ABSTRACT:
A soft contact lens pickup and insertion device (10) featuring a flat, annular terminus (16) designed to engage the apex of the convex side of a soft contact lens without deforming the lens is provided together with a hollow, rigid shank (12) and a hollow, pliable vacuum actuating bulb (14). A vacuum effect generated by compressing and releasing the bulb is communicated through the adjoining shank and out upon the contiguous terminus end in order to attract and engage a soft contact lens into a position which it may subsequently be inserted upon the cornea of a user's eye.
