A method of dispensing a contact lens, said method comprising:

• a) actuating an actuator of a contact lens dispenser to present a contact lens at the dispensing end of the tubular housing, wherein the contact lens dispenser comprises:
• a tubular housing having an inner sidewall, an interior defined by the inner sidewall, and a dispensing end;
• a delivery screw in the interior of the tubular housing and surrounded by the inner sidewall, the delivery screw comprising a thread having an outer edge and the delivery screw having an axis of rotation, the thread having a pitch, and the delivery screw mounted for rotation within the tubular housing about the axis of rotation, wherein the outer edge is in contact with the inner sidewall;
• and
• the actuator configured to rotate the dispensing screw upon actuation of the actuator wherein a plurality of contact lenses is disposed in the interior, suspended in solution, on the thread, the contact lenses are each spaced apart from adjacent ones, along the thread, by the pitch, and the thread is configured to hold the contact lenses and the contact lens solution along the thread such that, upon actuation of the actuator, each of the contact lenses is moved along the thread by a distance of one pitch and a single contact lens is dispensed from the dispensing end of the tubular housing;
• and
• b) touching the contact lens presented to a tip of a finger of a user.
