Hygienic Optic Applicators

The Contact Lens Helper Streamlines and Sanitizes the Insertion Process

— December 14, 2013 — Lifestyle
Irritation is one of the reasons that many people choose to wear their glasses over the alternative, but the use of the Contact Lens Helper would undoubtedly make the application and removal process simpler. Designed by Wan Sungyuk, Zhao Zhiyong, Wu Qiwen and Zheng Haibin, this clever contraption can make your morning bathroom ritual faster and more comfortable, and decrease the likelihood of bacteria transferal and eye aggravation.

The 2013 Red Dot Design Award winning concept comprises a flexible squeezable compartment, a transparent neck and a suctioning tip with a hole. Begin by dipping the Contact Lens Helper into your ocular solution; pinch and release it to pick up a single lens; hold it between your open eyelids and then depress it once more to drop the tiny dome and some liquid over your iris at once.
Trend Themes
1. Streamlined Application Process - The Contact Lens Helper simplifies the application and removal process of contact lenses, providing a more efficient and convenient experience.
2. Hygiene Enhancement - By incorporating a squeezable compartment and a transparent neck, the Contact Lens Helper minimizes the transfer of bacteria, reducing the risk of eye irritation.
3. Optimized Comfort - The suctioning tip and hole design of the Contact Lens Helper allows for easy placement of contact lenses, enhancing comfort and reducing discomfort.
Industry Implications
1. Eyewear - The eyewear industry can leverage the Contact Lens Helper to enhance user experience and differentiate their products with a more convenient and hygienic application process.
2. Healthcare - The healthcare industry can benefit from the Contact Lens Helper by improving patient care in terms of hygiene and comfort during contact lens insertion and removal.
3. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can capitalize on the trend towards convenience and hygiene by incorporating the Contact Lens Helper technology in their products, offering a competitive advantage in the market.
