OptiWand 6 Pack Small Soft Contact Lens Removal & Insertion Tool - Silicone Rubber Soft Lens Inserter & Remover Device with Pincher End & Finger Grips - Safe & Easy on Eyes, Travel Size 1.75"

I have to wear AirSoft contacts, which I've found to be incredibly difficult to remove compared to my old lenses. These lenses don't just slide or pop out as the old ones did, and I've either bruised my eyelids trying to get the things out or gave up completely and lost a lens in my sleep because they slip out and run away when I'm not looking. Apparently. Anyway, not being wealthy, I can't afford to keep losing contacts so I Googled and found this little tool. It looks creepy and I wasn't sure if it would work at all but, as I said, I can't afford to keep losing contacts unless I find a sugar daddy (which seemed a bit extreme).The whatsit arrived yesterday. I tried once again to remove my lenses as a normal human would, but the right lens didn't even respond to threats. With some trepidation, I removed the tiny thingamajig from the package and re-read the instructions a few times using my right eye, hoping to take some of the fight out of that lense. After a few tries, that rebel scum gave up and popped neatly out, THANK THE GOD OF INVENTORS. The trick is to not let the idea of sticking a tiny plunger into your eye and using the right amount of pressure.Tl;dr, product works as described and I am happy.

The Opti-Wand contact lens installer/remover did not work for me. I have no trouble inserting my Dailies 1 soft contacts by Alcon manually. However, these lens have such a perfect curvature to match my cornea that it’s very difficult to break the seal necessary to get them out. The snazzy video and (some positive) Amazon comments led me to order this product. After giving them a good workout and trying to get the necessary technic down I must conclude they won't pinch as described.I use the small end of the Wand with the cut-outs as instructed. The idea is not to use the Wand as a suction cup. Rather it is intended to slightly pinch the lens so that air can get between the lens and the cornea allowing one to lift to be lifted out and away from the eye. Sounds good in theory. The problem with this is that they do not grip the lens allowing one to pinch; they simply slide across the lens. As a test I placed one contact on the tip of my index finger using it to mimic my cornea. But again, they only slide and do not pinch the lens as required. I have tried this with the lens slightly wet with storing solution and with the lens dry. Nothing works. I’ve tried the Wand with other brands of soft lens. They were ineffective here as well. Perhaps others have had more luck. But not me. Quite expensive for something like this even if it did work. I can’t recommend this product.

Wow saw a lot of negative reviews but with first time wearing contacts at 66 years old and tried with fingers for 3 days and couldn’t get on or out for days without terrible struggles . Was gonna give up ans use glasses until I tried this tool .It’s not magic in that it doesn't do it by itself but need to read directions!Putting it got right eye first time in ! Left eye took 2 triesSame for coming out . You need to put it in eye and touch it kinda firmly but slide fingers down and squeeze close to edge so it “pinches “ lens slightly and came right out first time on right !On left took 2 tries but came out also !Just have to practice a bit but does work !! It does not suck it off eyeball , need to squeeze close to end so it “pinches “slightly together .Hey if I can do it you all can do it !Dont give up ! Read the directions and don’t guess at this !!I was so suprised and thrilled it worked like that .Will see how it goes in the morning !!

Products seems like good quality, however these were completely useless for me, they did not help me to remove contacts at all, which is where I have issues. Perhaps if the the end pieces where a bit bigger, it would actually have helped, but I felt like it was just too small to grip the contacts in any useful way. These would probably be great if you just need to place the contacts into eyes. But I have no problem there, so again, it was a waste of money for me.

The only reason I gave this 4 out of 5 is because the removal end does NOT work. Other than that, this thing is a GAME CHANGER!It doesnt feel harsh on the eye, in fact its quite gentle, the only "bad" thing about it could be sometimes the insert cup can be a little TOO grabby, but it holds the lense well, helps prevent inverting (though it does happen if you knock against a lash). The hollowed out center works great because I can focus on the light in the center instead of my eye reactively trying to shut because a large dark shape is approaching my eye.Its small enough you can stick it in a tiny baggie and carry with you anywhere if you need to readjust your lenses without using your fingers. These tools work best with bigger and thicker lenses like the Biofinity Torics, the ones I have.Keep in mind, because this is a smaller tool, it can be super easy to lose... and ive already lost mine... so I will have to order another.4 out of 5!

I recently started letting my nails grow after hurting myself from cutting too short. After browsing for some sort of tool, I found this one had the best reviews. For insertion, this item is wonderful! I also found that by not touching the lense with my finger to pick it up, vision through the lense was immediately clear. The lense also adjusted pretty quickly. The con...removal didn't work for me. I tried every method and nothing worked. This item did not work to pinch, no matter how hard I tried! It wouldn't budge! I ended up poking my eye and now I'm sure I have a scratch. Thus, I need to lay off my contacts for about a week. I'm returning them. Paying $20 for such small items is alot. Paying for them not to work is unacceptable. I had such high hopes. Three stars for insertion because that worked great! (Excuse my face, lol...I had just returned from a microneeding session🤣)

Please don’t waste your money on this product. I followed the instructions and it doesn’t work. At least for me it didn’t work. Also, you cannot return this item if it doesn’t work for you so be aware of that before ordering.

I'm notoriously bad at inserting and removing contacts but this little device actually works. I no longer have to rub my eyes raw trying to remove the lenses or losing it behind my eyelid or having it fold in half trying to get it in....the list goes on and on for how terribly wrong inserting and removing contacts have been the past 5 years. I all but gave up on contacts.But I decided to give it another shot with some spares I had and this device.It made inserting and removing extremely easy.The most important thing is to follow the directions. Moisture is important because it helps the contact adhere to you eye and allows it to loosen prior to removal. Make sure to squeeze gently at the base to pinch it, that is how the decice removes the contact, not by suction but a light grab. The insertion is pretty straightforward, the thicker end cradles the contact so you can place it square center on your eye.Much easier than using my fingers. Will definitely get good use out of this.Only thing is I wish is the color was bright like in the photos. Mine is a very pale mint green. It also doesn't say "optiwand" on the side either.

This has made y life so much easier and I found it so easy to use for the money it was great value

Wow makes putting my contacts in/out so much easier no more stressing out

I’ve not been able to get the contacts in or out with this instrument I’m confused

Für den Nutzen beim ein- und aussetzen ist das Werkzeug einfach zu teuer.

I have trouble inserting the soft contact lens . With the help of optiwand , It is so easy.
