- a lens storage container comprising a receiving compartment for each lens, each compartment being provided with a lid.
- a cleaning and cleaning product is poured into each compartment and the lenses are positioned in said compartments.
- Contact lenses are understood to mean any type of flexible or non-flexible ocular lenses for ophthalmic or cosmetic use. Contact lenses, whether flexible or not, are usually used periodically, namely weekly, fortnightly, monthly, bi-monthly, annual, etc ..., and should not be worn permanently. During the period of non-use, primarily at night, the lenses are maintained and cleaned by means of well-known cleaning and / or disinfecting liquid solutions which are poured into the lens storage case.
- Document FR 2 552 242 describes such a device for cleaning and preserving contact lenses.
- This document describes a housing having two small tanks communicating with each other at their middle part by a rectilinear narrow channel tangent to them. Each tank is closed by screwing a rigid annular capsule applying a plastic membrane on the opening of the tank. After filling the tanks with the appropriate solution, position each contact lens in each reservoir, hermetically closed reservoirs by screwing capsules, the user alternately printing a digital pressure on the elastic membrane allows the cleaning of contact lenses by forming a circular fluid flow in each tank.
