Abstract
A container for holding contact lenses in contact lens treatment solutions which has a base member equipped with at least one compartment. Each compartment has a predetermined length and width situated in a juxtaposed position with a partition thereinbetween for holding the contact lens and a laterally projecting flange around the perimeter of the compartment. Each compartment is filled with a contact lens treatment solution. A layer of adhesive is deposited on the laterally projecting flange. A cover sheet member extending at least across the full length and width of the compartment is releaseably united to the base member at the flange by the layer of adhesive forming a fluid-tight seal. The layer of adhesive is capable of uniting the cover sheet member and the base member at the flange and forming a fluid-tight seal after repeated uniting and releasing between the two members. In an alternate embodiment, a sliding cover is used to slidingly engage the flange achieving a fluid-tight seal. The container may suitably be used to clean, disinfect, and rinse contact lenses for only once or for many times by the opening and the resealing of the container.
