A huge number of people who use contact lenses are faced with such a problem as removal. For this, a suction cup for lenses was invented, with which it becomes much easier to remove them. This device also helps to put on lenses.
Benefits
This special puller has many advantages, one of which is convenience. The polymer product is attached to the suction cup during use. The suction cup for contact lenses has other positive aspects, namely:
- reliability;
- security;
- care.
After the lens is put on with the puller, it will not move or fall out. When the lenses are inserted without a remover, the pressure on the cornea increases. Frequent pulling of the eyelids leads to a loss of elasticity. In the case of a suction cup, they do not need to be stretched. Due to the fact that the puller does not squeeze the lens, it cannot be damaged.
Instructions for use
According to the instructions, it is necessarytake a sucker for lenses, squeeze the lower part of the handle, which is called a pneumatic bulb. After that, attach to the convex side of the lens, loosening the pneumatic bulb, the end of the suction cup. There will be an increase in internal volume and as a result the product will stick.
Then you need to bring the suction cup to the eye, making sure it is in the correct position, press it to the eye. Squeeze the pneumobulb, the pressure will increase and push the lens away, pressing it against the eye. In order for it to stand up correctly, you need to twist the eyeball.
Removal Technology
Many users do not know how to remove the lenses with a suction cup. First you need to drip special moisturizing drops into your eyes and make sure that the product has become mobile. If the lens sticks, it is necessary to drip again, blink and lightly massage the eyelid. Such procedures should help. After that, take the suction cup to remove the lenses with two fingers, pull the lower and upper eyelids with your free hand, bring it to the eye, squeeze the pneumopear and lightly press it against the cornea. It must be remembered that the device should be brought only at a right angle. After that, the pear must be loosened so that the pressure decreases, and pull away from you. This completes the procedure.
Important note
The lens suction cup also has a disadvantage. It should be noted that in order to capture the product well, the diameter of the puller should be as close as possible to the diameter of the lens itself. It is also noted that a person has to open his eyes quite wide in order to insert the suction cup. But still it is much more convenient than climbingin them with your fingers. It is most convenient to use the puller when looking down. It is best to carry out this procedure while standing at the mirror.
Causes of sticky lenses
If you violate the rules of operation and care of the lens, it may stick and not be removed. The main causes of sticking are:
- Excessive dryness of the mucosa. In this case, the degree of adhesion to the surface increases, the lens stops moving.
- Wrong position. The product, having shifted, sticks in the corner.
- Untimely withdrawal. As a result, the wet layer thins, protein deposits accumulate and begin to act like cement.
Soft lens not removable
If the soft lens is in the center, it can be removed with a puller. To do this, moisten the mucous membrane by dropping a few drops of "artificial tears" into the eye. Make light circular massage movements of the eye through the eyelid. And then work with a sucker.
If these manipulations do not help, you need to contact a specialist. It is important to know that you need to see a doctor immediately if a stuck lens causes:
- strong redness;
- sharp pains;
- discharge from the eyes.
Hard lens not removable
When a hard lens is in the very center, it is taken out with a puller. If it is not in its place, then it is necessary to close the eyelids and try to return it to the center, performing circular movements with the eyes. If after that you remove itdoes not work, you need to contact a specialist. You can not move the lens with any objects and hands, you can damage the mucous membrane.
Conclusion
A doctor may recommend a lens suction cup to make it easier to pull out the optical corrector. Some manufacturers already include special pullers with lenses. It must be borne in mind that it is very important to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before removing contact lenses. Dry them dry, water should not get on the lenses. Thanks to the pullers, the process of removing and inserting lenses becomes more convenient, and over time, faster.
