I first stocked this product in 2015. To me, it looked and felt the thing that held the jewel-shaped hard candy when I was a kid. But there's a lot of people out there that have difficulty with lens insertion and need creative solutions.
In these past few years I've had more than enough feedback from actual users of the ring applicator to indicate it's an extremely useful tool for many people, though - like everything - not everyone.
I heard from a customer in 2018 with 15mm lenses who had difficulty with the lens not coming off the applicator. I contacted the manufacturer and they recommended trying the one with the smaller bowl - for mini sclerals and hybrids - so we are now stocking that one as well, and to be on the safe side I'm going to suggest that those with 15mm lenses try that one first.

This ring makes putting my scleral lenses in so much easier. I can use the fingers on both hands to hold open my upper and lower lids.

After seeing the instructional video on the dry eye website, I purchased 2 rings. It's working beautifully, and I recommend people give it a try. It is almost the same as the regular contact lens insertion method. We patients who are new to scleral lens need all the help they can find. I have very small eyes so, insertion and removal are a challenge. Now I have my insertion issue going well, I'm working on finding a removal method. I just don't have much room in my eye to grab the edge easily. I get it done but will look for a better way. Thank you Dry Eye shop.

I only have one hand and trying to put in the scaleral lenses has been challenging. After watching countless YouTube videos, I came across one that used the ring. I immediately ordered one and upon its arrival got right onto trying to insert the lenses. It only took me two try’s! I was excited and my eye doctor will definitely recommend it to her patients as well.

I am so happy to hear that the ring helped! Thanks for sharing!
Since you are one-handed I wonder if you might be willing to share any tips about how you manage lens removal? This is something we often get questions about especially from people who temporarily lose the use of one hand due to injury or surgery.

Using this clever applicator ring, I can pop my scleral lens in on the first try, with the motion virtually the same as for my standard soft lens (index fingertip to the eye). Every doctor who deals with scleral lenses should be recommending this ring to their patients.
