S5 Mini Inserter for Scleral & Hybrid Lens Insertion – With Free Video Training Included

Compact, Hands-Free Lens Insertion for Seated and Travel Use

Product Summary

The S5 Mini is a hands-free insertion stand for scleral and hybrid contact lenses. It holds the lens steady and lights it from below, so the wearer has both hands free to hold their eyelids apart instead of balancing the lens on one fingertip. It was developed by optometrist Dr. Fayiz Mahgoub.

At 5.5 inches (14 cm) from base to lens holder, the Mini is built for seated insertion at a table or vanity and travels easily. It ships with a carrying case, which makes it the practical choice for patients who need to insert lenses away from home.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Hands-Free Lens Stabilization – Holds the lens steady so both hands stay free to hold the eyelids apart
  • LED Light Source – Illuminates the lens so the eye can be aligned with its center during insertion
  • Reduces Solution Spillage – A stable lens holds its saline, which helps avoid trapped air bubbles under the lens
  • Compact 5.5 Inch Design – Optimized for seated, at-home, and portable use
  • Carrying Case Included – Travels in a bag without disassembly
  • Unlimited One-on-One Coaching – Direct access to Dr. Mahgoub and his team, 7 days a week

When It Helps

  • When the lens will not stay balanced on a fingertip long enough to insert
  • When the eye closes before the lens seats, because both hands are needed to hold the lids apart
  • When saline spills out of the lens on the way to the eye, leaving air bubbles underneath
  • For a wearer who is new to scleral or hybrid lenses and still building an insertion routine
  • For insertion seated at a table or vanity, and for wearers who need a stand that packs into a bag

How It Works

  1. Seat the lens. Place the scleral or hybrid lens bowl-up in the lens holder and fill it with preservative-free saline.
  2. Switch on the LED. The light illuminates the lens from beneath so the patient can see and align with its center.
  3. Position over the lens. Seated, the patient leans forward until the eye is directly above and centered on the lens.
  4. Hold both eyelids open. With the stand supporting the lens, both hands are free to hold the upper and lower lids apart.
  5. Lower onto the lens. The patient lowers the eye onto the lens until it seats, then blinks to release.

Training & Support

Every S5 Mini includes unlimited one-on-one insertion coaching with Dr. Mahgoub and his team, available 7 days a week by phone, text, email, and video chat. For a practice, this is chair time you do not have to spend: insertion training can be routed to the manufacturer instead of filling another appointment slot.

Choosing Between the S5 Mini and the S5 Inserter

  • S5 Mini (DER5555) – Fixed 5.5 inch height, compact, carrying case included. For seated insertion and for patients who travel
  • S5 Inserter (DER5556) – Height adjusts from 10.5 inches to 2 feet 6 inches. For patients who prefer to insert standing at a counter or mirror

Both models share the same hands-free stabilization, the same LED alignment light, and the same unlimited coaching. Height adjustment and posture are the only functional differences.
