I can only agree to what Knight says about lens plungers. I my early days as lens wearer I had lens plungers delivered with my lenses and used them to remove my hard contact lenses in the evening. Until one evening the lens had disappeared "behind" the eye, you know, And I was chasing it with the lens plunger. It ended up with the plunger stuck in the centre of my cornea. With such a thing sucket onto the eye you certainly not just tear it off by force. And for people using lenses post graft I would not even think of the consequenses of such use of a lens plunger.

Be careful!

Like most things in life, if used correctly there will be very little chance of a problem

You win hands down and outright! That has to be the most painful seeming thing I have ever read on this site.

... unless somebody else knows better ...
