DMV Scleral Stand
The DMV Scleral Stand is an inexpensive, collapsible scleral application stand. It consists of a translucent base and tube and a DMV Vented Scleral Cup. This stand has no light source. However, for those who need a light to assist with lens positioning, you can shine a light at the base or tube and you will be able to see the light through the plunger.
The DMV stand is particularly popular for learners and convenient for travel due to its size.
DMV Vented Scleral Cup
The DMV Vented Scleral Cup is a popular scleral lens application plunger. It can be used on its own or in certain stands, such as the DMV Scleral Stand.
This vented plunger does not apply any suction to the lens. However, it allows light to come through the shaft, which is helpful for correctly positioning your lens, especially if you have low vision.
Careful: DMV cases are airtight. Don’t use this case for storage unless your plunger is completely dry.
DMV Scleral Cup
The DMV Scleral Up is a popular lens application tool for use with fingers. It is not commonly used with stands. The shaft is hollow but solid on the handle end. This allows suction to be applied to the lens in order to hold the lens in position while you fill it and apply it, without risk of “tipping over”. You squeeze to apply suction, and squeeze again to release the lens onto the eye.
Careful: The case it comes in is water-tight. Don’t use it for storage unless your plunger is completely dry.

There are two sizes of this product - Scleral, and Mini Scleral / Hybrid. The sizes refer to the cup where the lens is placed, as the ring itself is adjustable. Typically, the Scleral one is recommended for lenses 15mm or larger but please check with your provider for guidance.
