• RGP and orthokeratology lens wearers  
• Patients new to rigid lens handling  
• Individuals with reduced dexterity or coordination  
• Optometry clinics supporting patient training and care

• Soft suction tip provides secure, gentle lens grip  
• Reduces direct finger contact to improve hygiene  
• Helps prevent lens dropping or surface damage  
• Compact and easy to carry for daily use or travel  
• Suitable for both RGP and ortho-k lenses  

The Menicon Suction Holder is a specialised contact lens handling accessory designed to simplify the insertion and removal of rigid gas permeable (RGP) and orthokeratology lenses. Unlike soft lenses, rigid lenses require more precise handling, and direct finger contact can increase the risk of contamination, dropping, or surface damage. 

This tool features a soft suction tip that gently adheres to the lens surface, allowing for controlled placement and removal. It is particularly useful for patients who are new to RGP or ortho-k lenses, as well as those who experience difficulty handling small lenses due to dexterity challenges. 

In a clinical setting, suction holders are commonly recommended as part of a complete contact lens care routine, alongside appropriate contact lens solutions and cleaning systems. By improving handling technique, the Menicon Suction Holder helps maintain lens integrity and supports consistent, safe daily lens use. 

The soft silicone tip creates a light suction seal on the surface of the lens, allowing it to be lifted, positioned, or removed without direct contact. This improves control and reduces the risk of contamination or lens slippage.

1. Ensure hands are clean and dry before handling lenses  
2. Gently press the suction tip onto the centre of the lens  
3. Lift or position the lens as needed for insertion or removal  
4. Release suction by lightly squeezing or tilting the holder  
5. Clean and air dry the holder after use

Choose this product if you want a straightforward, reliable tool for hygienic handling of RGP or ortho-k lenses, particularly for daily insertion and removal. 

You may prefer DMV Ultra Suction Holder if you require a slightly firmer grip or enhanced durability for frequent use. 

Compared with DMV Classic Suction Holder, this option is better suited for patients who prefer a softer, gentler suction tip for delicate handling. 

You may prefer DMV Angled Suction Holder if you find standard straight holders difficult to position, as the angled design can improve access and visibility during insertion. 

Overall, the Menicon Suction Holder offers a balanced option for everyday use, prioritising comfort, control, and ease of handling. 

What type of lenses is this suitable for? It is designed for rigid gas permeable (RGP) and orthokeratology lenses. It is not typically needed for soft lenses. 

Is it safe to use on delicate lenses? Yes. The soft suction tip is designed to handle lenses gently without scratching or damaging the surface when used correctly. 

Can this help if I struggle to insert my lenses? Yes. It provides improved control and positioning, which can be particularly helpful for new wearers or those with reduced dexterity. 

How do I clean the suction holder? Rinse with clean water after use and allow it to air dry. Replace periodically as recommended by your eye care professional. 

Do I need this if I already handle lenses with my fingers? Not necessarily, but it can improve hygiene and reduce the risk of dropping or contaminating lenses, especially for RGP or ortho-k users.
