OptiWand – Portable Soft Contact Lens Removal & Insertion Tool – Silicone Rubber Eye Lens Inserter & Remover Device with Pincher End & Finger Grips – Safe & Easy to Use, Travel Size – 1.75″
Designed with a pincher end and finger grips, our tool offers a safer, less complicated process for inserting and removing soft contact lenses. Created to prevent the common issues users often face when handling soft lenses, the OptiWand enables the lens to be pinched out, as lens suction is not effective due to the lens’ material composition. The wand’s design aims to hold the lens until it has been properly placed on the cornea during insertion. If followed correctly, the process involves aligning the lens correctly using the central hole in the colored wand and, once touching the eye, twisting the wand slightly to release the lens. However, it’s worth noting the process requires some practice as the OptiWand functions differently from a common finger method to which users may be accustomed.
Moreover, here are some key pros, cons, and notes about the product:
Pros:
- Easy to use and carry, making it ideal for traveling.
- Constructed in a manageable dimension of 1. x 0.63″ x 0.63″.
- Made of safe silicone rubber.
Cons:
- The lens insertion must be completed quickly to prevent the lens from sticking to the wand.
- Not designed to remove lenses through suction. Instead, lenses must be pinched out using the soft, pliable ends.
For the best experience, it is recommended to use extra lubrication, e.g., adding drops in between the lens and the wand, and applying eye drops before inserting lenses.
