The S5 Lens Insertion System™

 Protect Your Patients

The risks facing patients who struggle with lens I&R

  • Injury from improper lens insertion (corneal and conjunctival abrasions).
  • 17x – 100x higher odds of developing acquired ptosis for hard lens wearers compared to non-wearers.2,8,9,10
  • 8x – 15x higher odds of developing acquired ptosis for soft lens wearers compared to non-wearers.2,9,10
  • The #1 reason for scleral lens dropout is I&R difficulties. 35% of scleral lens dropout is due to this.1
  • 33% of newly fitted single-vision soft lens wearers discontinue wear because of I&R difficulties.6
  •  Specialty lenses are medically necessary. Dropout means worse vision and health outcomes for patients.
  • Patients may require invasive procedures such as corneal transplants which are associated with a risk of infection, graft failure, graft rejection, and irregular astigmatism.1

 Grow Your Contact Lens Practice

The business impact of I&R struggles and contact lens dropout

  • 44% of glasses‑only wearers who have never tried contact lenses declined contacts due to anxiety about I&R.7
  • Each contact lens wearer generates $19K-$24K in lifetime revenue for the practice.4
  • Contact lens wearers generate 60% higher profit than glasses-only patients.4
  • Long I&R training sessions and repeat visits cost the practice hundreds of staff hours annually and reduce practice efficiency.

 End I&R Struggles For Your Patients and Staff

The S5 Lens Insertion System

  • The S5 system has a 98% success rate for helping patients overcome I&R challenges.5
  • Teach patients lens insertion in fewer attempts and less time.3
  • The S5 system comes with unlimited 1 on 1 lens insertion training for each patient provided by Augmented Vision Labs. Training is available 365 days a year.
  • In a study conducted at Southern College of Optometry, participants rated the S5 Mini as feeling safer, easier to use, more comfortable and having a smaller learning compared to insertion with a hand-held plunger.3
  • Utilizing the S5 system allows practices to improve patient satisfaction and create an additional revenue source for the practice from device sales.

Proven Results

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Southern College of Optometry to compare the efficacy and the perceived ease of use, comfort and safety of the S5 Mini™ to the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ which is considered to be the gold standard lens insertion method. 

Study highlights include:

  • The S5 Mini™ helped participants insert their lenses with 2.8 fewer insertion attempts per eye compared to the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ (P < 0.0001).
  • The time needed to successfully insert a lens with the DMV® was 50% longer than the time needed with the S5 Mini™.
  • When asked to compare the DMV® Vented Scleral Cup™ to the S5 Mini™, participants rated the S5 Mini™ as:
    • Safer ✓
    • Easier to use ✓
    • More comfortable ✓
    • Having an easier learning curve ✓
