Abstract
Embodiments provide for an optical component mounting apparatus and method. One embodiment provides a body defining a lens applicator tip at one end, wherein the lens applicator tip defines a lens contact surface. A lens retaining member includes a lens carrying tip defining a lens receiving opening and is slidably disposed over at least the lens applicator tip. The lens carrying tip is slidably positionable between a lens carrying position in which the lens carrying tip extends past the lens applicator tip, and a lens release position in which the lens carrying tip is retracted with respect to the lens applicator tip.
