EZI Scleral Lens Applicator Ring

After finally getting the hang of inserting my new scleral lenses using a lighted stand, I thought I would try another option that might be easier for travel. I saw a youtube video that made the insertion look pretty easy with the applicator ring. The applicator ring was very easy to slide onto an index finger and it held my lens well. However, I wasn’t able to successfully open my eyelids wide enough without having the full use of both hands to do so. This should work well for others who don’t struggle to open their eyelids with fewer fingers than I do. Unfortunately, I’m sticking with the lighted stand for now and will maybe try this option again in the future.

I ordered this ring primarily because I thought I could use it and alleviate the thumb and hand pain I have with inserting the sclerals with the use of the plunger. This worked for me a few times, but I really cannot get the hang of it. Because of my nerve condition in my hands, I cannot position my hand in the proper position in order to use this effectively. I ordered one, thinking I would get the hang of it and have it on hand if needed, and then I ordered a second one in order to get a bundle discount ....I doubt I can use either one. It does have a good, intended purpose if you are willing to try.

I plan to order more. I recently was not at home and needed to remove my lens and re-insert. My hands were shaky and fell. I went into panic mode. I did find lens, I searched internet for ways to prevent that. I found this, I bought one and planning to buy more to be able to keep with me. Sometimes I still just use my finger but the security of this when I am out, really helps. Please start selling these in multiple packs with a discount i.e. 3 for $25 maybe.

I like this product, with ease to use for me

The ring was like magic! I have a hand tremor, so the plunger or bare finger just didn’t work well for insertion of the lens.

It’s a bit pricey for the tiny ring it is, but worth every penny!
