S5 Contact Lens Insertion Tool

The S5 Contact Lens Insertion Tool provides a structured, supported approach to scleral lens insertion. It is particularly useful for patients who require improved stability, alignment, or confidence during application, including those new to specialty lenses or managing dexterity challenges.

• Scleral lens wearers  
• Patients new to specialty contact lenses  
• Individuals with reduced hand stability or coordination  
• Clinical training and guided insertion setups  

• Supports stable, hands-free or assisted insertion  
• Suction holder helps maintain lens positioning  
• Can be used with light sources for improved visibility  
• Enhances accuracy and consistency during insertion  
• Suitable for both home and clinical environments  

The S5 Contact Lens Insertion Tool is a specialised device designed to support the accurate placement of scleral contact lenses. Scleral lenses require a higher level of precision during insertion compared to standard soft lenses, making supportive tools beneficial for many patients. 

This device allows for either hands-free or assisted insertion, helping to maintain correct lens orientation and stability during application. It can be used in conjunction with external light sources to improve visual alignment, which may be particularly helpful for new wearers or those with reduced dexterity. 

Within a clinical eye care setting such as EyeSolutions, insertion tools like the S5 are often recommended as part of a broader contact lens management routine, alongside appropriate contact lens solutions and hygiene practices. The structured design makes it a practical option for patients seeking greater consistency and confidence in their scleral lens insertion technique. 

The device uses a suction holder to stabilise the contact lens while positioning it for insertion. This reduces hand movement and allows for more controlled alignment with the eye.

1. Wash and dry hands thoroughly  
2. Place the contact lens onto the suction holder  
3. Fill the lens as instructed by your eye care professional (if required)  
4. Position your eye over the lens using a mirror  
5. Gently apply the lens to the eye  
6. Release suction and remove the device  

• Medical-grade plastic  
• Silicone suction component  

Choose this product if you require a structured, hands-free insertion system with maximum stability and alignment support for scleral or hybrid lenses. The adjustable height and standing setup allow for more controlled positioning, which can be particularly helpful during early adaptation or for patients experiencing insertion difficulty.

You may prefer the S5 Mini Contact Lens Insertion Tool if you are looking for a more compact, portable option for travel or occasional use, and are already confident with your insertion technique. Compared with the S5 Mini Contact Lens Insertion Tool, this option is better suited for patients who:

• Need adjustable height and ergonomic positioning during insertion
• Prefer insertion while standing rather than seated
• Require greater stability and consistency, particularly when learning
• Benefit from a more clinical, repeatable setup at home

Both devices offer hands-free stabilisation and LED-guided alignment to support accurate lens placement and reduce blinking and saline spillage.

However, the S5 Inserter provides a more supportive, full-system approach, making it the preferred option for patients needing additional guidance or control.

Q: Can this be used for soft contact lenses? A: It is primarily designed for scleral lenses, which require greater stability during insertion. 

Q: Do I need a light source to use this tool? A: A light source is optional but may improve visibility and alignment during insertion. 

Q: Is this suitable for beginners? A: Yes, it is commonly recommended for patients learning scleral lens insertion. 

Q: Can I travel with this device? A: While portable, it is less compact than mini insertion tools designed specifically for travel.
