DMVClassic Vented Hard Contact Lens Remover (Green, 10 Packs)

Material is good and vent provides good suction

This works for INSERTION (don't squeeze it) AND for REMOVAL (squeeze-release to create suction, then squeeze (only) to release the lens).I like this much better than expected.Adding a picture because in earlier reviews it seems like there was some discrepancy in which product was shipped. The product I received 12/2019 is vented as shown.SIZE: This plunger is smaller than the 'insertion plunger' from my Dr, and larger than the orange 'removal plunger' from my Dr.I have Scleral lenses (large hard lenses) and the Dr provided 2 separate 'plungers' - one larger vented one for insertion & a smaller non-vented one for removal. It takes a little practice for timing to activate the suction properly to remove the lens with this DMV one, but better functionality overall. Just squeeze to release the suction!My 'removal plunger' from the Dr was not 'vented', so I had to squeeze the tiny sides to release the lens. This one is 'vented', so when you squeeze it, it gently releases the lens. (this is especially good if your aim is not that accurate to get the lens out of your eye!, which is even more difficult when you can't see well!!)I bought this pack to create a few travel/emergency kits (my car, work, etc.) with extra solution, cases, saline, backup glasses, etc.. but now I also use one of these as my everyday plunger tool.

I was unable to figure out how to put ortho-k lenses in or take them out using my finger or pushing on my eyelids. But like Mom always said, "If it's difficult, you're using the wrong tool." My optomestrist didn't want me to use a plunger because "what if I lose it" and I was just like, you know what--the lens itself is ALSO a tiny piece of plastic that I can't lose or else? Soooooo... Anyway...This. This is the right tool for ortho-k lenses.

These seem to be defective. I was replacing one that I lost and it takes so many tries to get it to suction, if it ever does, that I had to return them. I've been wearing sclerals for around a decade and am very good at getting them in and out and know all the tricks. It's a shame as I like this skinny style with the center hole to carry with me in my purse as they can be used for both removal and insertion when I need to rinse out my lenses while not at home. Now I carry two around, plus my saline. Sigh.

The product works get for removing hard contacts. I recent got hard contacts and this product made it easier to remove the contacts because of the suction. The delivery good delay for a few days so it was a few days late. Overall the product works well.

I've been using this brand since I've worn night time contact lenses- around 2015 or so. I ordered this when I lost my contact remover at school, I was so miserable. CVS, Rite Aid, and Walgreens all didn't have this, and all the nearby opticians were closed! Definitely purchase these for a rainy day, or if you only have one of these and are constantly on the move/traveling.My optometrist would charge me around the same price for this 10 pack and only give me one of these! I highly recommend getting this if you're forgetful like me, I keep some on my college campus dorm, some in my travel pack, and some at home.

I prefer these over the larger ones that lack a hole as they work better when I have to take the lense out of my son's eye (he usually do it himself and is able to use both type, but will use this one when he has a harder time.

Finally replaced the one I got with my first Scleral Lens 8 years ago. These are an exact replacement.
