Easier Contact Lens Removal with Suction Cup Tool

Having Trouble Removong Your Hard Contact Lens?
eek- the title of my post is much scarier sounding than it is. I got a RGP Inserter/Remover. It is small silicon tool with a tiny “suction cup” on the end to aid in the removal of my hard contact lens. You can also use to insert but I have never bothered. When I have been removing my hard lens it often slips the hard lens edge scrapes my eye or worst case then lens does a flip and I have lost TWO ( at $185 a pop!).
None of my local optometrists know what I as talking about when I mentioned a suction cup to remove hard lens.
Finally at specialist they not only knew about them but sold them and showed me how to use. The cost was 5.00 and well worth it.

I have keretaconus and had intacs inserted in June in my left eye. I have had no luck trying to find a contact lens to work. I am also frustrated because I feel that the intacs made my vision worse. My astigmatism improved quite a bit, but my vision is awful. I have tried every contact but the Jupiter lens and from what I am reading, the Jupiter lens may not be the answer either. I have to call my eye doctor by Tuesday to let him know if I want to try that lens or not. I’m thinking my only option right now is the corneal transplant.
