Abstract
A device is disclosed for aiding in the handling of contact lenses which is generally placed on the fingertip and includes a disc coated on at least one side with an adhesive layer and a central aperture. The disc is composed of bio-compatible material and includes on at least one surface either a layer of bio-compatible adhesive or an adhesive coated band attached to the disc. The adhesive provides a firm attachment to the fingertip or other surfaces and the central aperture supports the contact lens to maintain its shape for transfer to the correspondingly shaped surface of the eye.
