DMV Scleral Cup Large Contact Lens Handler (10-Pack)

About the Product

A pack of ten DMV Scleral Cup Large handlers, available in light green, blue, cobalt blue and orange. Each one is a suction cup on a squeezable handle. Unlike the DMV Vented Scleral Cup, this cup is not vented through, so squeezing and releasing the handle draws and holds suction on the lens, and squeezing again releases it. An air channel runs inside the cup and needs to be kept clear of debris. The moulded body contains dry natural rubber and does not contain liquid latex. Made in the United States.

This is the two way scleral handler in the DMV range, used to place a scleral lens on the eye and to lift it off again, and also to remove a prosthetic eye. Insertion and removal use the handle differently: the lens is carried on the cup with the handle left alone, while removal works by squeezing the handle first and releasing it against the lens to build suction. Ten handlers suit the six month replacement schedule and keeping spares in more than one place.

To remove a lens:

1. Moisten the suction cup and squeeze the handle.
2. Place the suction cup against the scleral contact lens by using a mirror.
