Abstract: A contact lens application aid including a lens holder dock having an elongated supporting member having a base end and a coupling end. The coupling end is structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder. The lens holder dock includes a transparent material or a translucent material and is configured to illuminate the coupling end. A supporting base is configured to rest on a flat surface and receive, at a central portion of the supporting base, the base end of the lens holder dock via a friction fit. The supporting base extends outwardly from the central region such that a diameter of the supporting base is greater than a diameter of the lens holder dock.

Abstract: A contact lens application aid including a lens holder dock structured and dimensioned to receive a lens holder and a light unit optically coupled to the lens holder dock and illuminating the lens holder dock. The contact lens application aid further includes a first supporting member extending downwardly away from the light unit whereby the light unit and lens holder are supported at a desired height above a horizontal work surface. The first supporting member is supported on a surface engaging supporting base coupled to the supporting member. The contact lens application aid enables a user to keep both hands free to manipulate eyelids while applying a contact lens to the eye.
