A visual aid for using contact lenses comprises an eyeball and a cover that contains
the eyeball, and a model contact lens. The eyeball includes a sclera, an iris and
a pupil. The cover includes an upper eyelid and a lower eyelid that can be opened
and closed. The visual aid also includes a simulated contact lens that can be placed
between the eyelids and the eyeball for demonstrating the proper insertion and
wearing of contact lenses. The eyelids simulate natural movements of human eyelids.
Additionally, methods for using the visual aid for using contact lenses for instruction
in insertion, and removal, of contact lenses from the eye are described.
