Abstract
A contact lens disinfecting kit having an open topped lens container, an elongated piercer mounted in the lens container in an upright position and having piercing portions thereon projecting to the vicinity of the open top of the lens container, the piercer dividing the interior of the lens container into two separate contact lens receiving parts, and an open topped solution container attached to the lens container for being foldable over against the lens container with the open top thereof facing the open top of the lens container and having a shape with a peripheral edge around the open top thereof which fits snugly into the open top of the lens container. A sterilizing or disinfecting solution is contained in the solution container, and a pierceable cover is sealed to the edge of the solution container around the open top thereof, the piercer projecting sufficiently toward the solution container when the solution container is folded over against the lens container to pierce the pierceable cover. A catalyst is provided in the lens container for decomposing the sterilizing agent in the solution.
