I don't have personal experience with this product since I don't wear soft lenses. I initially added it to the shop for the benefit of dry eye and RCE patients using soft "bandage" contact lenses therapeutically and who were having difficulty dealing with removal and replacement. Since then I've had a number of 'ordinary' soft lens users who have shared how much they appreciate the tool.
The DMV® SLH™ has been the industry leader in soft contact lens removal and insertion for more than two decades. It has patented gripper pads which closely align with the eye shape and gently caress the lens surface. This allows comfortable and safe lens removal. Its small end has a shallow cupped indentation that holds the moist lens securely for placement onto the eye. The contact lens wearer can easily and accurately guide the SLH into place while looking in a mirror.
Insertion and removal of soft contact lenses.
Press grippers firmly onto front of lens and gently squeeze together to extract the lens from eye.
Place the wet lens on small end and gently press lens onto the central part of the eye.
Keep away from small children. Swallowing could cause choking. Do not place the remover directly on the eye. To be used only with healthy corneas.
Wash in warm soapy water. Rinse and air dry.

I was at wits end removing my soft contacts. After wearing gas permeables for years I thought soft lenses would be a breeze..well, comfort was great, inserting wasn't bad, but removing was so horrible for me! To the point I had just decided glasses would be my option. So happy I found these! If you're having trouble removing your lenses, these are truly life-changing.

Makes insertion and removal of cantact lens a breeze.
I find the DMV handler extremely useful. Putting the lenses in is easy - once I got over the sheer size because soft lenses are considerably bigger than my old had lenses - but I did have a real struggle to get them out. The little gadget is quite soft and flexible without being too flexible, also a find that I can see what I am doing far better than when I'm using my fingers. A tip. I find that if I insert a moisturising eye drop just before taking them out the lenses slide out MUCH more easily.
