Fill the concave side of the lens to the brim with a preservative free saline solution.

Be careful not to let the lens suction on plunger.

Lens Adhesion

If the lens does not come off freely, place a finger on the bottom lid and apply a little pressure just under the edge of the lens to gently break the seal.

Conditioning solution or recommended storage solution.


Look straight ahead in the mirror and place the suction cup near the edge of the lens anywhere between the 4 and 8 o’clock position.


If the lens is fenestrated with a tiny venting hole, do not place the suction cup on the fenestration hole because it will not adhere to the lens.
