OptiWand inserts soft contact lenses with our center hole as a guide
OptiWand is made of soft pliable rubber and designed to insert and remove
soft contact lenses.
It measures 1.75 in long x .63 inches wide.  You must use the center hole as a guide and not look up during insertion and use the full cup side
It is not a suction cup for soft lenses
.  It will help to pinch them with the soft rubber full cup side.
Using OptiWand for inserting soft contact lenses
Step 1: Dip your OptiWand in Contact Lens solution for lubrication Step 2: Position your soft contact lens on the center of the OptiWand full cup side Step 3: Using your non-dominant hand spread your eye lids as wide as possible, keeping your eyelashes out of the way. Step 4: Draw the OptiWand to your eye by looking through the center hole to align properly Aiming the OptiWand at a colored background or light will help some to focus on the center hole Step 5: Once it is close enough and the contact lens makes contact with your eye, the natural surface tension of your eye will draw the contact lens to your eye. Step 6:  Blink until comfortable.   Now your lens is centered on your eye.   * Make sure to hold eyelashes away to prevent blockage. *  Warning - Never use the Optiwand on a naked eye   Please do not use the OptiWand if you are allergic to Liquid Silicone Rubber!
To remove soft contact lenses they must be pinched out with the full cup side
We suggest placing the soft lens on your non dominant index finger and practice the pinch off of your finger to get a feel for actual removal. If you pinch the soft contact lens off of a finger a few times you will be able to visualize what it takes to pinch effectively.
Using OptiWand for removing soft contact lenses
Step 1: Use a dry OptiWand for Soft Contact Lens removal for best results. Step 2: Using your non-dominant hand spread your eye lids as wide as possible, keeping your eyelashes out of the way. Step 3: Focusing through the center hole, move the OptiWand full cup side toward your eye until you touch the soft contact lens. Step 4: Once you feel the OptiWand touch the soft contact lens you should twist it slightly then carefully pinch the soft contact lens with the base of the OptiWand and swipe away from eye.  Some users can turn the OptiWand towards their noses after it makes contact and that will help push it out. *Best pinching position is very close to the tip*   Final Step: Dip OptiWand into contact lens solution in current case and the lens will fall down into the solution with a pinch.
With some practice & patience you can master using the OptiWand and help be more sanitary. Your eyes will love you in the long run.
Common issues using the OptiWand are –
Removal - Thinking it is a suction cup.  Soft lenses are not a solid material and must be pinched out and cannot be suctioned as they are a non porous material.  Insertion – You must look into the center hole for easy insertion.  The lens will not come off the OptiWand if you are looking up or down as it will hold the lens until placed on the cornea where it is intended to sit securely.   Eyelashes will also block the path so be sure to open wide!
The OptiWand is designed to help save time and sanity. It will also help to be sanitary at the same time!
It can be a process to learn how to use our OptiWand but with practice and patience you can learn it. Use the full cup side for both insertion and removal of soft contact lenses.  You must use the center hole to insert and pinch to remove or it will not work!
