You MUST Pinch the Lenses with the very top base on either end to remove.
Some are able to PUSH the lenses out if unable to pinch.
Suctioning Soft Lenses Is IMPOSSIBLE due to the microscopic holes in them.
Practice squeezing the top of the OptiWand® to visualize the process.
Soft contact lenses Cannot be suctioned out without
Pulling the Eye at the same time.
The soft ends of the OptiWand® help provide area to Pinch the soft lenses.
Applying Eye Drops Prior to Insertion and Removal is a MUST!
It helps to practice pinching the soft contact lens off of a fingertip to get the feel for it before trying on the eye.
We suggest placing the soft lens on your index finger of your non dominant hand &
practicing 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 SOFT Contact Lens Removal
Step 1: Applying Eye Drops Prior to Insertion and Removal is a MUST!
Use a DRY OptiWand® on the Full OR Split Cup End for Soft Contact Lens removal.
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 or Split Cup END
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 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*

FAQ’s for why the OptiWand® won’t work
for SOFT Contact Lens Removal
Q: I am trying to suction out my soft lens and it won’t grab the soft lens, why?
A: IT IS NOT A SUCTION CUP FOR SOFT LENS REMOVAL.
SOFT contact lenses are not a solid material and therefore CANNOT be suctioned out.
You will have the highest success by using the OptiWand®
on the flexible FULL CUP side to place in between the fingers and the soft lens
You must be able to get your fingers close enough to pinch the lens off the cornea
and break the bond allowing it to release.
