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.

(canceled)
A contact lens application aid comprising:
- a lens holder dock comprising a supporting member having a base portion and a coupling portion, wherein the coupling portion is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder, and wherein the lens holder dock comprises a transparent material or a translucent material presenting an outer surface that is at least partially exposed to ambient light and wherein the lens holder dock is configured to illuminate the coupling portion;
- and
- a supporting base configured to rest on a flat surface and to receive, coupled to the supporting base, the base portion of the lens holder dock, wherein the supporting member extends upwardly and away from the supporting base and wherein the supporting base extends outwardly from the base portion such that a first extent of the supporting base is greater than a second extent of the lens holder dock.
A method of contact lens application, comprising:
- coupling a lens holder dock comprising a supporting member having a base portion and a coupling portion to a supporting base;
- placing a lens holder into the coupling portion that is structured and dimensioned to receive the lens holder;
- selecting or making the lens holder dock comprises a transparent material or a translucent material presenting an outer surface that is at least partially exposed to ambient light and wherein the lens holder dock is configured to illuminate the coupling portion;
- and
- placing the supporting base on a flat surface so that the supporting member extends upwardly and away from the supporting base and so that the supporting base extends outwardly from the base portion such that a first extent of the supporting base is greater than a second extent of the lens holder dock.
