Abstract
A package ( ) for, together with a saline solution ( ), storing a contact lens ( ) has an applicator for applying the contact lens in an eye ( ). The package comprises a cup ( ) with a convex surface ( ) and a fingerstall ( ) with a concave surface ( ). The cup and the fingerstall are, in the unopened condition of the package, closely joined with a strip ( ) which is relatively easily torn off when the package is to be opened. When the cup is removed from the fingerstall, this functions as an applicator with the wet contact lens adhering to the concave surface of the fingerstall. By means of the package, the contact lens can be applied in an eye in a clean and sterile condition and without risk of the contact lens carrying foreign bodies and bacteria-containing dirt which might irritate and damage the eye.
