Abstract

A contact lens package includes a pair of shell members that are removably attached to each other. An sponge member positioned between the shell members contains a recess for housing a contact lens and contact lens solution. One end of each of the shell members contains a tab, the tabs being juxtaposed with one another when the shell members are attached to each other. The package is opened by pulling apart the juxtaposed tabs and separating the shell members, thereby enabling access to the contact lens. The tabs have aligned apertures for hanging the package from one end thereof. An opposite end of the package is provided with a gusset that is sized and shaped for positioning the package in a free standing position. One of the shell members contains a window for allowing visual exposure of the contact lens.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a contact lens package and, more particularly, to a contact lens package adapted for improved accessibility to the contents thereof and for retail display. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Contact lenses, particularly disposable contact lenses, have been conventionally packaged in “blister packs.” In general, a blister pack comprises a rigid plastic (e.g., polypropylene), concave-shaped receptacle for receiving a contact lens and a flexible cover, typically made from a laminate material (such as metal foil), which is removably attached to the receptacle for enclosing the lens therein. Within each blister pack are a single contact lens and a sufficient amount of contact lens solution to prevent drying of the contact lens and to maintain the contact lens readily available for use. [0003] Conventional blister packs are also not adapted to be displayed on conventional display units, such as peg-hook-type or wire-hook-type ...
