How to Apply Your PROSE Device with a Plunger Stand

With or Without a Lighted Plunger
Place the application plunger in the hole at the top of the stand. If using a light, feed the
1
wire through the slot on the stand. Turn on the light. Adjust the
height of the stand, if necessary, by placing it on top of
something such as a book or a tissue box.
While holding a cleaned and disinfected PROSE device gently
2
by the edges, place onto the application plunger. Do NOT
squeeze the plunger to attach the device; this will allow it to
release easily when applying.
Overfill device with preservative-free saline. Let the solution
3
drip, not stream into the device, in order to prevent bubbles
from forming.
Hold the eyelids at the edges, where the lashes meet the lids.
4
The contact points should be centered on both lids, so as to
form a perfectly round opening with plenty of clearance for
device application.
Tuck your chin to your chest. Look straight down. Keep the
5
plunger centered in your eye by focusing on the black hole or
green light in the center of the plunger.
Begin to approach the device by moving your head downward
6
smoothly and steadily. The approaching device and plunger
must be centered within that opening and your focus must
remain on the black hole or green light.Some people find it
useful to shut the eye that they are not applying the device to.
You will feel the fluid but you are not there yet. Continue the
7
downward motion until your device is pressed firmly against
your eye.
Capture the device with the eyelids by releasing the lids.
8
The device has now been released onto your eye! Keep your
9
eye closed while you sit up, backing away from the plunger with the device on your eye.
Now check your device in the mirror. Shine a penlight, at an angle, onto the surface of the
10
device and look for the presence of any bubbles in or under the device. If you detect bubbles
the device MUST be removed and reapplied.
After application of both devices, clean your application plunger with warm soapy water,
11
rinse well, and allow to air dry.
