I heard that they stubbornly stick to your finger when you're trying to put them in. Has anyone else had this problem with them? How did you fix it? Got a handy dandy tip for us?

YES I SURE DO HAVE A HANDY DANDY TIP FOR YOU SO LISTEN UP!

I was almost driven insane trying to put in Biomedics55 because they stick to your fingers and then flip inside out over the end of your finger.

then I discovered a guy named Feldman in NY solved the problem 20 years ago and you can order one online today for a few bucks. Its called SOFTSERT and its been around since 1977 and works like a charm and literally saved me from jumping off a bridge!

Its made of pink rubber and looks like a thimble with a half inch long right angle arm with a 1/4 inch suction cup on the end of it. You put the thimble on your index finger, wet the suction cup and place the lens on it. (easy way is to place the lens upside down on a napking and then wet the suction cup and pick up the lens with it). then stick it in your eye placing the lens right over the cornea, then close your eye gently on the suction cup and pull the thing out and it leaves the lens on the eye perfectly every time!!!!!
EVERY TIME....!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its soft rubber so it can't hurt you, can wash under tapwater, is cheap, has no moving parts, will last for ever, works every time, has been used by millions for 20 years, and is absolutely idiot proof!!!!!

I bought mine on ebay and they threw in a LENSVU2 "inversion mark viewer" too, all for a few bucks.

I don't see how anybody wearing soft lenses can live without it!!!!

Is this what you're talking about, T. Arthur?

I'm glad you didn't jump off that bridge. You wouldn't be using the word "literally" incorrectly now, would you?
