Well . . . if someone were having trouble with their Acuvue contact lenses and they came to Lens 101 for help, I don't think "stick it in" would be what they were looking for, do you?

Yes. Go online and buy SOFTSERT contact lens insertion tool. they are soft rubber, have been around since 1977 and work like a charm. Get the SIMPLE one which is just a rubber thimble with a right angle suction cup on it about a half inch long. It works every time in 2 seconds flat.

SOFTSERT also makes a more complicated squeeze type insertion tool that doesn't work so don't bother with that. The simple old fashioned one works like a charm, has no moving parts, can't injure you, and is so simple it is idiot proof!

Do you mean this thing on the left?

I found another tool called a "Soft Sert Plus" (on the right) that's sort of U-shaped. Is that the "more complicated squeeze type" you mentioned that didn't work?

Na, Softsert makes a 3rd tool which you haven't found yet... the one I'm talking about. All 3 of them are seen in this photo:

http://store.softsert.com/c12p.html

I bought a "combo 3-pak" which includes all 3 tools for $35 on ebay, but the only one I use is the "original" rubber doohicky shown in the picture. The viewer is used to read "inversion marked" lenses (such as Acuvue) so you don't get them in backwards. I don't need it because Biomedics aren't marked anyway. The squeeze gadget is useless AFAIC.

The rubber gadget is worth the entire price... lay the contact on a paper towel upside down... wet the doohickey suction cup and it will suck up the lens off the towel just by touching it.... put the thing against your eye with the lens on it, close your eye gently and then pull the suction cup out... and voila.... the lens stays right on your eye like magic. The guy who figured that out ought to get a Nobel prize!

Default Thanks For the Picture

There. Now you won't have to leave Lens 101 to look at this picture. That one thingee (or shall I say "doohickey") looks like a watering can for your flower bed.
