you.
My contact information is included below as well as on the business card that was

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The S5 Inserter™ was designed to make struggling with scleral and hybrid lens insertion
a thing of the past. The device allows for hands free stabilization of your lens which
enables you to have two hands available to hold your eyelids open. This will allow you to
more effectively counter the human blink reflex which is often triggered when the lens
is on or near the eye. Lens stabilization will also help reduce accidental spilling of the
saline solution during insertion which will reduce the chance of air bubbles getting
trapped under the lens. The device also features a light source to help you align your
eye with the center of the lens during insertion.

DEVICE MAINTENANCE
1. Please clean the rubber lens holder with an alcohol wipe before every use and
allow it to dry completely before placing a lens on it.
2. Immediately after inserting your lenses, take a moment to remove any liquid
that may have spilled onto your device. Do not disconnect the light unit from
the telescoping arm until after you have dried the outside of the light unit with
a paper towel. This will help prevent water from getting into the electronic
components of your device.
3. It’s important to make sure that the storage case for your device is completely
dry before storing the device in it. If you place containers in the storage case that
hold liquids (ex. contact lens cases), please ensure that they are securely closed
to prevent liquid damage to your device.
a. It’s recommended that you use an alcohol wipe to clean the outside of the
device as well as the storage case at least once per week. After cleaning,
make sure that all parts are completely dry before storing them.
4. The bottom of the suction base should be cleaned periodically with an alcohol
wipe to ensure maximum suction.
5. Charging the light unit:
a. When you notice the light becoming dim, it’s time to charge the light unit.

i. Connect the female end of the provided USB extension cable to the
bottom of the light unit.
ii. Connect the male end of the cable to a desktop or laptop
computer.
b. The light unit will reach a full charge after 1 hour of being plugged in.
6. Adjusting the light brightness:
a. If you notice that the light is dim after a full charge, then it’s time to switch
the lens holder dock to the “extra bright” lens holder dock that was
provided with your device.
i. Ensure that your light unit is tuned off.
ii. Hold the top half of the light unit in place and twist off the orange
lens holder dock by twisting it counterclockwise.
iii. Install the “extra bright” lens holder dock that was provided with
your device and screw it in place firmly.
iv. Turn on the light unit and enjoy the increased brightness.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE LENS INSERTION
1. Place the suction base on a smooth, flat surface. Ensure that both the bottom of
the suction base and the surface are clean and dry.
2. Hold down the outer edge of the suction base while pulling metal telescoping
arm upward until it locks into place in the vertical position. This will engage the
suction of the base.
3. Once the telescoping arm is in the vertical position, slide the base of the arm
forward for increased stability (see picture below).

Step 3

4. Extend the telescoping arm to the desired height.
a. * It’s recommended that you keep the height as low as possible when
you are first learning to use the device to reduce the chance of your lens
being accidentally bumped off the lens holder and falling from a high
distance. This could cause the lens to become lost or damaged. When
you become confident in your ability to consistently insert the lens
without it falling, you can increase the height to your preferred height
for lens insertion.
5. Connect the light unit to the top of the telescoping arm.
6. Connect the rubber lens holder to the top of the light unit.

7. Wash your hands with soap for 20 seconds and dry them with a lint-free towel.
8. Clean the rubber lens holder with a disinfecting alcohol wipe.
a. *Allow the lens holder to dry completely before placing your contact lens
on it.
9. Clean the upper segment of the light unit (the part that twists) with a disinfecting
alcohol wipe.
a. You can use the same wipe that you previously used to clean the lens
holder.
10. Inspect your lens to make sure it is clean and free of damage then place it on the
rubber lens holder.
a. It’s recommended to rinse your lens with preservative free saline if it was
previously stored in a multi-purpose cleaning solution.
11. Fill the lens bowl with a preservative-free saline solution that is approved by
your doctor.
a. Add saline until the level rises above the edge of the lens.
12. Twist the top half of the light unit counterclockwise to activate the light.

LENS INSERTION
1. Place your head directly over the lens, making sure that it is level with the surface
that the base was placed on. Your chin should be tucked in toward your chest.
2. Use both hands to firmly hold your upper and lower eyelids open.
a. Tip: Placing your finger as close as possible to your eyelashes (without
touching your eyelashes) will give you the best grip on your eyelids.
3. Keep both eyes open and slowly move your head down toward the lens until
your eye makes contact with the lens.
a. Tip: Focus on the light as you move closer to the lens. The light will look
perfectly round if you are lined up with the center of the lens. If the light
does not look round, you will need to adjust the position of your head until
it does.

b. It is normal for saline to spill out of the lens bowl when your eye makes
contact with the lens.
4. Once you feel that the lens has made contact with your eye, move your head
back up and away from the device and slowly release your eyelids.
5. Twist the top half of the light unit clockwise to turn off the light.
6. For your second eye:
a. Repeat steps 10 through 12 in the “Before Lens Insertion” section to
prepare your second lens for insertion.
b. Repeat steps 1 through 5 in the “Lens Insertion” section to insert your
second lens.

7. Cover one eye at a time to see if you can notice any air bubbles that may be
trapped under the lens. It may be helpful to use a mirror and a flashlight to check
for air bubbles.
a. If air bubbles are seen, you must remove the lens and re-insert it.
AFTER LENS INSERTION
1. Remove the rubber lens holder from the light unit.
2. Keep the light unit connected to the telescoping arm and dry off the outside
of the light unit with a paper towel.
3. Disassemble the device:
a. Disconnect the light unit from the telescoping arm.
4. Additional drying for the light unit:
a. Turn the light unit upside down to get rid of any liquid that has built up
inside the orange lens holder dock.
Please carefully follow the instructions below to keep liquid away
from the electronics of your device. Following these instructions will
extend the operational life of your device.

12 ©2022 Augmented Vision Labs, LLC
b. If you see liquid on or near the USB port of the light unit, soak it up
with a paper towel or a q-tip. If there is no liquid on the USB port, then
please avoid touching it.
5. Detach the base:
a. Collapse the telescoping arm down to its shortest height.
b. Push the telescoping arm to the horizontal position to break the
suction of the base.
i. If the suction doesn’t release right away, it may be necessary to
use a fingernail or a business card to separate the edge of the
base from the surface that it is suctioned to.
6. Drying the telescoping arm and base:
a. Turn the telescoping arm upside down and shake well to remove any
liquid that is trapped between the segments.
b. Extend the telescoping arm to its full length and use a dry paper towel
to remove all remaining moisture on the telescoping arm and the
suction base.
7. Please ensure that the storage case used to store the device is completely
dry before using it to store your device. This is important for reducing the

13 ©2022 Augmented Vision Labs, LLC
growth of microbes in the storage case as well as reducing the chance of
moisture causing damage to the electronics of your device.
a. It’s recommended that you use alcohol or another disinfecting solution
to clean the inside and outside of your storage case at least once per
week. After cleaning, make sure that the case dries completely before
using it to store your device and lens accessories.
