OptiWand Contact Insertion Removal Suction Reviews Summary

Product Design and Quality

Pros:

• "This little gem is perfectly designed."
• "The stiffness is just right... not too soft, not too firm."
• "Nicely constructed little tool."
• "Such a simple piece of plastic but indispensable to me."
• "The hole in both ends is key to getting this to work."
• "These little beauties don't have any suction to them well how I use them they don't but they hold the contact lenses perfect for me to just pop them in."
• "The best thing is, this tool will not hurt your eyes and its cleaner than any fingers in your eye."

Cons:

• "This product is useless. I bought it because I have long nails and it’s hard to take out my contacts. But this product does NOTHING!"
• "The ends are too flimsy and from my experience my contacts come off the applicator when inserting and when trying to remove my contacts the ends were too flimsy to get a good grasp on the contact to take out."
• "They appear to be a child's toy. It doesn't suction as it should and I'm afraid it'll damage my eyes."
• "It’s chunkier than just using your finger tip to insert the contact."
• "This product is not effective and does not work. It does not perform suction and fails to remove the contact lens."
• "Not enough suction and too awkward to maneuver."
• "This product made it even more difficult and it hard on the eye."

• "This product came really quickly. But the box is broken and the inner plastic package also broken."
• "Wish I could rate it less than one star... Also, it says in the FAQ you can ask for a refund… HAHA they won’t give you one and tell you you aren’t eligible for one."
• "Beware. Product does not work or I got a defective one. Since seller doesn’t offer refunds is a total waste of money for me."
• "AND I CANOT EVEN RETURN. ITS BASICALLY 2 INCHES IN LONG. PRODUCTION COST SHOULD BE NO MORE THAN 1 DOLLAR. GARBAGE DO NOT BUY."
• "Do not waste your money. It is really tiny that you can lose it. And it did not take out my contact lenses."
• "Edit - The item page states “Eligible for return or refund”. But if you click on “details”, it is only eligible if it arrives damaged or gets lost in transit. Not eligible if it doesn’t work. That’s deceitful and false advertising."
