Abstract
A contact lens application aid including a lens holder dock having an elongated supporting member having a base end and a coupling end. The coupling end is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder. The lens holder dock includes a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the coupling end. A supporting base is configured to rest on a flat surface and receive, at a central portion of the supporting base, the base end of the lens holder dock via a friction fit. The supporting base extends outwardly from the central region such that a diameter of the supporting base is greater than a diameter of the lens holder dock.

A contact lens application aid comprising:
- a lens holder dock comprising an elongated supporting member having a base end and a coupling end, wherein the coupling end is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder, and wherein the lens holder dock comprises a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the coupling end;
- and
- a supporting base configured to rest on a flat surface and receive, at a central portion of the supporting base, the base end of the lens holder dock via a friction fit, wherein the supporting base extends outwardly from the central region such that a diameter of the supporting base is greater than a diameter of the lens holder dock.
A kit for assembling a contact lens application aid comprising:
- a lens holder dock comprising an elongated supporting member having a base end and a coupling end, wherein the coupling end is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder, and wherein the lens holder dock comprises a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the coupling end;
- and
- a supporting base configured to rest on a flat surface and receive, at a central portion of the supporting base, the base end of the lens holder dock via a friction fit, wherein the supporting base extends outwardly from the central region such that a diameter of the supporting base is greater than a diameter of the lens holder dock.
A method of contact lens application, comprising:
- placing a contact lens to be applied on a contact lens holder;
- supporting the contact lens holder in a lens holder dock removably coupled to a supporting surface;
- illuminating the lens holder dock, wherein the lens holder dock comprises a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the contact lens holder;
- manipulating and controlling eyelids utilizing two hands;
- and
- bringing an anterior surface of an eye into contact with the contact lens.
