System for storage and caring for contact lenses

Abstract

A means, method, and system for storing and caring for contact lenses, including cleaning, rinsing, storing, disinfecting, lubricating, etc., including a self-contained contact lens holder to support and contain one or more contact lenses. A fluid conduit is associated with the contact lens holder to provide a pathway for fluid to the chamber or chambers holding each contact lens. A fluid container holding a fluid used in contact lens care can be put in fluid communication with the fluid conduit and is operable to selectively introduce fluid into the fluid conduit and fill the contact lens holder with the fluid. The contact lens holder, fluid contact, and fluid container may all be incorporated in a unitary body, or fluid container and/or the fluid conduit can be selectively attachable to the contact lens holder so that different fluid containers can be interchangeable to the contact lens holder. In another aspect of the invention, the structure can be adjustably oriented with respect to the contact lens holder to allow rinsing of the contact lens holder after use, while retaining the contact lens within the contact lens holder. Another aspect of the invention allows optional attachments for the carrying of other contact lens care products within or associated with the contact lens holder.
