5.0 out of 5 stars Works for me., March 22, 2010

I have used this product for the last few months and it works great. It took a few days to get use to it, but now I can have both contacts out in under 30 seconds. The hardest part is just getting use to how to hold and position it. Once you figure that out, it is great. One thing I did learn was to make sure the gripper end is dry. If it is wet, it does not grab the contact as good. I have not used the one end that is for inserting your contact since I did not have a problem putting them in, just getting them out.

Things to remember when using it.
1) Dry gripper end(picture of product shows the end that is used for inserting a contact, remover is the one that is split in two)
2) Grip the thing as close to the ends possible
3) Align the end so that it makes contact across the entire gripper, not just one end/side or the other
4) Do not pinch the end until after you have made contact with your eye and then press slightly, then pinch.

I think most people that have problems with this think the contact is just going to magically jump out of there eye and onto the gripper, this is not a suction cup. You have to make contact and press the gripper against the contact and then squeeze with your fingers positions close to the end of the gripper or it will not work.

I used to get so stressed just trying to take out my contact lenses, it would take forever to do, even after I had trimmed my finger nails. But now I can keep my nails long and insert and remove my contact lenses within a few seconds and usually on my first try. Before, it could take up to 10 tries manually before I was able to do this. I've tried other aids but the DMV Soft Lens Handler is the easiest to use and most comfortable on my eyes. No more bloodshot eyes for me!

I may be slow at times but I thought you removed your lens using the same end that you use to insert lens. I thought there was some kind of suction effect that I just couldn't work out. I went to the DMV website and saw the OTHER end had the gripper pads for removing the lens. Now I think this is a great little tool!
