[10 Pack] DMV Ultra Contact Lens Remover Tool for Scleral and RGP Lenses - Eye Contact Remover Plunger Suction Cup

I wear scleral lenses and need these to remove my contacts safely. They hold the suction just right for removal. I ordered a different brand which was less expensive but ended up tossing them since they had inferior suction.

I ordered this set of 10 bright orange contact lens removers to stash in my purse, car, nightstand, travel contact lens supplies bag, mom’s house, etc. It is terribly difficult to remove scleral lenses without a remover tool like this and I have been caught without one before. These are perfect for removing my scleral rigid gas permeable lenses. Wet the tiny remover suction cup before trying to attach the lens you are wearing. Otherwise the lens is more suctioned to your eyeball than the tool. Sometimes it is hard to pull the lens off of this tool once out of the eye. Rotate the tool and try to spin it to the edge of the contact which will release the suction. It may help to drip some extra saline solution on the surface of the lens to help the tool slide while you’re spinning it. The lenses are so expensive that I do everything I can to avoid stressing them by pulling hard on them. (If you’re not familiar with scleral lenses, they are RGP lenses that sit on the sclera (white part) of your eye and bridge over the cornea. You fill them with saline before raising them to your eye for insertion. If you have irregular corneas they will take them out of the equation. The lenses are larger than soft lenses.) I recommend these for hard, rigid gas permeable (RGP), and scleral lenses. The suction cup is smaller than a traditional hard lens. This tool would not work at all with soft lenses.

I’ve used these a lot when my contact lenses get dry and hard to pop out with a pull to the side of the eye and they work great. I have them in the car, purse, besides bathroom ready when needed.

These are extremely simple, fit for purpose - and vital. On one trip a few months ago I lost my scleral lens remover. And quickly found it was remarkably difficult to find a replacement or substitute. It was impossible to find a replacement at any CVS, Walmart, etc. in a mid-size (250K people) city. And it was not possible to use my fingers, lens inserter, plastic tweezers, or anything else I probably shouldn't have even put near my eye, in order to remove the scleral lens. I had to order these removers for overnight delivery, and wear a lens much longer than I should have. It was such a relief when the removal tools arrived, and I could finally remove the lens! This tool is that essential. Have a spare. Take a spare on any trip.

Overall the product does what it needs to do. I bought these as extra just in case for my rigid contacts.

I use these to remove gas permeable lenses. They are handy and remove lenses easily.

I've been a contact lens wearer for a few decades and I have hard gas permeable lenses. They are rare among contact lens wearers. Most people wear soft lenses, but they didn't work for my astigmatism. To take out your contacts, hard lens wearers are taught to lean forward over one cupped hand, and tug at the outside corner of their eyes with your other to create tension in the lid, and blink. Most of the time, that pops the contact out into your awaiting hand. Sometimes it doesn't work the first, second, or third time -- especially depending on how many hours you've had them in, whether your eyes are dry, puffy, etc. Sometimes when they pop out they do not go into your hand but fly off into the distance, forcing you to blindly search for them and hope you don't hear a crunch. As I get older too, I'm wondering how bad it is to continue to pull at my eyes every day. Aren't I trying to prevent wrinkles? For whatever reason, even though this method had been mostly working for years, as time went on, it seemed like it was getting harder and harder for my lenses to come out the way I'd always been removing them. It was always taking multiple tries. Usually worse for one eye than the other, but you can't sleep in hard lenses, so they have to both come out each night. Anyway -- after a terrible night of literally not being able to remove one of my contacts for over an hour, I knew I had to find a different way to solve this and I found these. They take my lenses out pretty much on the first try, every time. There's never a concern about where the lens will land when removed -- it's always on this little suction cup. If you try it and encounter any issues either with getting the lens to stick to the suction cup or removing it once it's on there, I recommend pre-wetting the suction cup with a little water or preferable contact solution. These are so simple, but they made such a difference for me. Hopefully, they will for you too.

These had no suction, so I pushed them hard on my scleral contact to try to remove... then I could not get them off my contacts!! They did not remove my contacts but stuck to them... very painful!! I finally had to call in my husband and after a lot of pulling and tugging, we finally got them off the contacts then used another true suction device to finally remove contacts off my eyes. These plungers really hurt my eyes! I hope there's not permanent damage. I definitely would NOT use these ever again! DON'T buy them!! They suction to the contacts and no tube within that you can squeeze them to cause them to release off contacts. I'd like a refund, but I doubt that will happen. I only tried one of them... I won't even give the others away, because I would never want anyone to have to go through what I just went through. Awful!
