DMVVented Scleral Cup Contact Lens Insertion Tool

As someone who wears scleral contact lenses daily, I was excited to try the SynergEyes DMV Model Vented Scleral Cup Contact Lens Insertion Tool after struggling with other tools from time to time. Let me just say, this tool has made the process so much easier and more comfortable.The design of this tool is simple yet highly effective. It has a suction cup that securely holds the lens, allowing for precise placement onto the eye. The vented feature is an added bonus it ensures a gentle release of the lens when you position it on your eye, which reduces the risk of it sticking to the tool and makes insertion smoother.Unlike using fingers to place scleral lenses, which can sometimes cause discomfort or make the lens move incorrectly, the DMV Vented Scleral Cup provides a more controlled and less invasive way to insert the lens. The soft, silicone cup is gentle on the lens and the eye, ensuring a more comfortable experience overall.I love how much quicker and more reliable the insertion process has become. With the DMV tool, I can confidently insert my lenses without worrying about misplacing or damaging them. This tool is a real time-saver, especially during busy mornings or when I’m in a rush.The tool feels sturdy and well-made, and it’s easy to clean and maintain. I appreciate that it’s small and compact, making it easy to store in my contact lens case or carry around in my bag.If you wear scleral lenses, I highly recommend the SynergEyes DMV Model Vented Scleral Cup Contact Lens Insertion Tool. It’s affordable, practical, and makes inserting lenses a much more seamless experience. Whether you’re new to scleral lenses or have been wearing them for years, this tool is a must-have for simplifying your routine.

I purchased this in Feb 2024. I’ll admit that I bought it by mistake, meaning, I thought I was buying a plunger to remove contacts - I hadn’t even heard of a plunger to assist with putting contacts in, but I thought, well, might as well try it. I’ll be darned if this thing isn’t SO darn helpful! Before, I was balancing the contact between two fingers and it was so precarious. Full of contact solution, it would often topple over off my fingers and I would have to try again. With this thing it stays really nicely put, which makes it much easier to put the contact in.Now if I could just find a plunger this large to remove the darn things, I’d be all set.

It's for hybrid lenses.I had to up my review a star to counteract the other review. The only reason I was going to give it 4 stars was because of the cost. 25 years of contacts from gas permeable to soft. I'm veryyyy experienced. I've always had to wear custom lenses due to the prescription but it's not much different than the disposables all the lucky people get to wear. BTW I have those two for a contact glasses combo.This IS FOR hybrid lenses. They're amazing! But they're difficult to put in despite the fact I'm defininately a pro. Hybrid lenses have a hard center with a soft skirt around the outer edge. They must be completely full of solution to be inserted correctly. If I don't have this tool I've done a three fingertip insertion. It's a hit and miss sometimes. Also no matter how many times I wash my hands and lenses I can get an occasional smudge. Or if I towel dry my hands I'll get microscopic fibers on the lenses.This has solved every problem and is a must have for hybrid lenses.My only dislike was the eye gouging price. I must have accidentally knocked mine into the trash. This is so simple to use and durable that I don't want to call it cheap. But in all honestly it looks like the kind a contact accessorie that would come with free trial lenses and be thrown immediately away. Like a free piece of "junk". I expect it to last longer than a whole package of makeup sponges. But they don't cost $10...Pros:Well made (it just happens to be some kind of inexpensive material)FlexibleSanitaryKeeps lenses sparkling clean as there is really no need to handle them muchIf used correctly perfect insert every timeYou can actually see them come into focus as you insert them due to the hole through the centerIf you're unsure of whether you made good contact you can give it a little swivelCons: PriceI don't buy spares because they're $10 eachI think a fair price would be $1-2 max so you can buy a multipack.I'd buy 10. I already have a contact laboratory.It's not fair having vision this bad.I haven't paid for these new lenses yet.My last custom soft lenses were already $300 for a year supplyAnd that company couldn't successfully recreate the ones I originally bought which reminded me of plungers anyways after my previous company quit doing custom lenses.It took 15 months, many trials, soft lenses to these and finally these hybrids are amazing.I was considering and dreading going back to hard lenses.If you're stuck with gas permeable hard contacts you should ask about these.I off-road, shoot, and live in a desert where the wind can blow sandstorms.I have 20/20 vision again with hybrids.And this tool is an amazing must have.After all that $10 for this was just another regular slap in the face.I cannot get surgery. My eyes are a -10 and -14.I know that's a lot of info to have but I think people should know what this is and what it's for.I wish it removed them to because it's a bit tricky at times.As long as you don't lose it, it'll last a long time.

Great for putting my Schlera Lens on! Grips good, pricey for something small and made out of rubber! I wish they are more in one pack for the price!

I wear contact lenses mostly for cosmetic use, and as most of you know there is QUITE a learning curve at first when it comes to putting them in correctly. I can't tell you how many times I have had to throw away contacts that have fallen onto my bathroom floor because I could not for the life of me get them to stick to my eyes while trying to apply them. Yes, I know I could sterilize them easily, but I have dogs and children and I was not comfortable with the idea of putting something that fell on my floor back in my eye-but I digress.Enter this magical device! I know it says its for the sclera contacts, but I find the larger surface area makes it easier when applying regular color contacts. This tool provides a solid support for the contact Lense to hold its shape correctly allowing it to stick to your eye effortlessly, allowing me to apply them in half the time! Very simple, but quite genius at the same time.It's definitely worth the cost for the time and the frustration you save. Always make sure to sterilize before and after, and be sure to keep it in a protective case.
