A process and apparatus for the care of contact lenses in which the process comprises supporting contact lenses on a lens holder within a treatment container provided with a motor-driven stirrer and introducing into the container a liquid, e.g., salt water, and a two-component system including (1) a first component providing a peroxide-compound cleaning and sterilizing solution, preferably in solid form and (2) a second solid component containing a catalyst or reducing agent providing a neutralizing solution wherein the second component dissolution is delayed until after the first component has acted on the contact lenses, and wherein the action of both components is effected under stirring; and the apparatus for practicing this process comprises a housing, a treatment compartment in the housing to hold a liquid, a lens holder removably supported in the compartment, a stirrer movably positioned in the housing which is separate from the lens holder and which extends into the compartment and drive means to move the stirrer and agitate the liquid in the compartment.

Apparatus for the care of contact lenses

Apparatus for the care of contact lenses is disclosed. The apparatus includes a container for a treatment liquid, a contact lens holder which fits into the container, and nozzles positioned in the container for spraying treatment liquid onto contact lenses supported by the contact lens holder and for agitating the treatment liquid.

Apparatus for the care of contact lenses comprising a housing, a chamber in a lower part of the housing for containing a treatment liquid, a vibration generator for agitating the treatment liquid, a contact lens holder for holding contact lenses in said chamber optionally having means for holding a treatment tablet to be dissolved in the treatment liquid, and means for coupling the contact lens holder to the vibration generator and for positioning the contact lens holder in the treatment liquid.
