Abstract
A container () for accommodating an ophthalmic lens during a lens treatment process has a longitudinal axis () and comprises a containment portion (), a mounting portion (), and a retaining element (). The containment portion () comprises a tubular section () and a bottom () protruding convexly towards the outside at one end of the tubular section () and has a number of apertures (). The mounting portion () comprises flow openings and an access opening () at an end remote from the containment portion (). The retaining element () prohibits the lens from being washed out of the containment portion () and further permits access of a gripper into the containment portion () for insertion and removal of the lens. The mounting portion () extends from the access opening () to the tubular section () in a manner to enable introduction of the containment portion () of another such container () into the mounting portion () through the access opening ().
