A method of removing a contact lens by means of a device including a flexible cup comprising a bottom projection and an outward extending rim on an opening, and a suction loop member shaped to assemble with the rim by snapping is provided. The method includes pouring an amount of IV fluid into the cup; adhering the suction loop member to a periphery of the eye by engaging; immersing the contact lens placed on the cornea of the eye in the IV fluid by inverting the cup; and repeatedly pressing and releasing the cup until the contact lens falls onto the projection. Hand contact with the eye is avoided.
