An instrument for applying a contact lens to a user's eye and for removing a contact lens therefrom. The instrument is especially adapted for use with soft contact lenses and comprises a central footplate having a curved surface on which a lens can be retained by liquid adhesion and having an illuminated aperture providing an accurate and easily visible target for alignment of the instrument with the eye, and a pair of resilient arms between which the footplate is disposed and having shaped end portions for engagement of a contact lens. The arms are movable toward each other to grasp the edges of a contact lens worn by the user for removal of the lens from the cornea onto the footplate.
