Abstract
A contact lens cleaning device provides a mechanical apparatus for the thorough agitation and cleaning of contact lenses immersed in a disinfecting solution. The device comprises a base portion bearing a reservoir for containing a measured amount of disinfecting solution, and a main housing portion including a lens holder portion for releasable capture of the contact lenses to be cleaned. The lens holder is connected to rotating crankshafts by connecting rods, and the crankshafts are connected to a knob on the outside of the main housing, so that rotary motion of the crankshafts is translated to reciprocating motion of the lens holder.
