About the EZI
- Ring style lens inserter
- Helpful alternative for insertion challenges
- Please be careful in choosing the right size, and consult with your lens provider!
Description (by Rebecca)
I first started stocking the EZI ring applicators for scleral lenses back in 2015. As with all lens plungers, they are not for everyone, but they are really valued by certain users. For some people they seem to make all the difference in being able to get the lens in. One of the advantages is that it frees up most of your insertion hand to help with the lid spread.
How do you choose the right size inserter? The manufacturer's packaging says that the mini/hybrid version is for lenses 13mm or less. Occasionally there have been issues about size selection, and we cannot provide you with failsafe advice about this. But if you have lenses 15mm or more in diameter, you probably need instead. Please make sure to talk to your doctor and verify your lens size.
