Why do contact cases come with tweezers?

Question

I was on ebay looking for a cute contacts case, and there are sets that come with a mini solution bottle and a pair of tweezers. What are the tweezers for?

Answer 1

maybe because they person thought you neede a pair of tweezers?

Answer 2

My guess is it comes with tweezers for two reasons. 1) Contacts used to (and some still do) come in small glass bottles and the tweezers were helpful in getting them out when they were new.

2) When I first started wearing contacts ( a REALLY long time ago!) I was told to handle them as little as possible. so the tweezers might be to get them out of the case without having to use your fingers.

It's possible that neither of these are the reason....just my thoughts!

Answer 3

Sometimes They have little rubber ended tweezers to take your lenses out of the case with. It is handy if you have long nails.

Answer 4

probably to remove them out of the case.

Answer 5

I too have a pair of them (they're plastic though). If it's plastic, it's for you to handle the contacts easier - taking them out of the case etc...

If you are new to them or have long nails, the chances of them getting damaged are high so therefore, it's a great idea to use them.

Answer 6

The tweezers are for taking your lenses out of the case. It comes in handy if you have long nails.

Answer 7

maybe to pluck your eyebrows before or after you put your contacts in?
