Purpose:
To describe a new technique for the insertion of a bandage contact lens with the help of sterile Minims.
Methods:
The bandage contact lens is picked up with the nozzle of the Minims by suction. The lens is then taken to the patient, placed on the cornea, and released by breaking the vacuum.
Results:
Examination of the contact lens under the microscope after insertion showed no damage.
Conclusions:
Insertion of a bandage contact lens with Minims is a nontouch, inexpensive, easy, and patient-friendly method. It can reduce the risk of infection in already compromised eyes.
