Contact Lens Storage Case

Abstract

Disclosed is a contact lens storage case, in which a contact lens is automatically immersed in preserving solution when a cap is closed and is automatically exposed out of the preserving solution when a cap is opened, so that it is possible to store the contact lens without damage and so that a user can easily hold the contact lens with his / her fingers upon applying the contact lens. The contact lens storage case includes: a storage container shaped like a cylinder, formed on both sides of a body, and filled with preserving solution so as to store contact lenses or soft lenses; a slider moving up and down while being assembled with an inner side of the storage container and holding a lens on an upper surface of the slider; an elastic means for providing elastic force to move the slider in an up direction, the elastic means being formed on a lower surface of the slider; a cap covering the storage container; and a pressing means for pressing the slider and preventing separation of the lens, the pressing means being assembled with an inner side of the cap.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a contact lens storage case, in which a contact lens is automatically immersed in preserving solution when a cap is closed and is automatically exposed out of the preserving solution when a cap is opened, so that it is possible to store the contact lens without damage and so that a user can easily hold the contact lens with his / her fingers upon applying the contact lens.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Contact lenses or soft lenses for correcting sight require a separate storage case for storing the lenses, in contrast to the general glasses, and require to be stored in washing solution or preserving solution in order to prevent the lens from hardening and to remove a by-product, such as protein, attached on a surface of the lens upon applying the lens. Therefore, lenses are put in a lens storage case divided into a right case and a left case, having the preserving solution, for storing the contact lenses or soft lenses. However, the above le...

Benefits of technology

[0005]In accordance with the contact lens storage case of the present invention, the contact lens moves while being placed on the slider moving up and down in the storage container, and the slider slides up and down according to opening and closing of the cap so that the contact lens are exposed out of the preserving solution or are immersed in the preserving solution. Therefore, the present invention allows the user to conveniently store and hold the contact lens.

[0006]Further, in accordance with the contact lens storage case of the present invention, the user can easily hold the contact lens immersed in the preserving solution, and the time requiring for applying the contact lens can be reduced, thereby minimizing pollution and damage to the contact lens.

[0007]Furthermore, in accordance with the contact lens storage case of the present invention, the pressing means perpendicularly presses the slider having the contact lens on the upper surface of the slider, even though the cap rotates, and also, the pressing means prevents the separation of the slider out of the contact lens. Therefore, the present invention solves the problem in that, when the cap is opened and closed, the contact lens moves toward an external side of the upper surface of the slider and is caught in an aperture, so that the contact lens is torn or damaged.

[0008]That is, in the present invention, the slider on which the contact lens is placed perpendicularly moves up and down, while the contact lens is prevented from moving toward the external side in the upper surface of the slider, thereby preventing damage to and breakage of the contact lens.

Problems solved by technology

However, the above lens storage case has been inconvenient in that the user should dip his / her fingers into the preserving solution or use a separate instrument when applying the contact lenses.
