Abstract
A contact lens case including a body or base portion with a pair of lens-receiving wells recessed therein, a cap or cover closable to form a substantially liquid-impermeable seal around the wells, and a latch or closure assembly engageable to secure the cover in its closed position. A compressible gasket around the wells assists in forming the seal with the cover. The wells include a primary bowl portion with a tapered secondary portion extending therefrom to assist in lens removal.
