The peripheral wall 12 extends from the peripheral edge of the opening 11 to the other.

The peripheral flow path 13 is provided inside one end of the peripheral wall 12 and extends in the circumferential direction.

The discharge port 14 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of one end of the peripheral wall 12, communicates with the peripheral flow path 13, and allows the mounting liquid L to flow symmetrically with respect to the center of the contact lens C. In the present embodiment, two discharge ports 14 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of one end of the peripheral wall 12 so as to face each other in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the liquid pool flow path 21. That is, the storage container 10 has a discharge port 14 on the inner peripheral surface of one end of the peripheral wall 12 which communicates with the liquid pool flow path 21 and discharges the mounting liquid L in the storage container 10.

The bottom plate 15 is connected to the other end of the peripheral wall 12.

The inner diameter reducing portion 16 is a convex portion 16 smaller than the diameter of the contact lens C provided on the peripheral wall 12 for holding the contact lens C. The wearing liquid L stored in the other side of the contact lens C pushes the contact lens C to one side when the face is turned upward while the contact lens wearing assisting tool 1 is in contact with the eyes.

The non-slip 17 is provided on one end surface of the peripheral wall 12. In the example of FIG. 3, two anti-slip 17s are provided on one end surface of the peripheral wall 12 so as to face each other in a direction orthogonal to the extending direction of the liquid pool flow path 21. When the storage container 10 is arranged below the face below the eyebrows B and on the side of the nose N so that the cylinder 20 and the liquid pool 30 face sideways, the non-slip 17 is attached to the upper eyelid and the eyelid. It is placed at the position where it hits the lower eyelid. The non-slip 17 has, for example, a rough surface that creates a frictional force between each of the user's upper and lower eyelids.

The tubular body 20 has a liquid pool flow path 21 extending from the outer peripheral side of one end of the storage container 10 and communicating with the peripheral flow path 13 inside. The tubular body 20 has, for example, a short-angle tubular shape. (Fig. 2).

The liquid pool 30 is a box body having four side plates 31 extending from the extending end of the tubular body 20 to one side and end plates 32 connected to one side of the four side plates 31, and is a storage container 10. The mounting liquid L that has flowed out from the peripheral flow path 13 and the liquid pool flow path 21 is stored in one side of the opening 11. The end plate 32 has a removable liquid drain cap 33. (Fig. 2).

(Action)
Next, the operation of the contact lens wearing aid 1 will be described. 4A and 4B are diagrams showing an example of the contact lens C packaged in the contact lens packaging container 40. 4A is a perspective view and FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view. FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the contact lens wearing assisting tool 1 is applied to the eyes and the face is turned upward. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the flow of the mounting liquid L flowing out from the storage container 10 to the liquid pool 30. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a state in which the contact lens C is attached to the cornea.

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the contact lenses C are immersed in the mounting solution L one by one and packaged in the contact lens packaging container 40. The contact lens packaging container 40 has a cup shape, and the opening is sealed by a sheet-shaped lid 41.

The user introduces the mounting liquid L into the storage container 10 so that the position of the water surface reaches near the upper edge of the storage container 10. Subsequently, the user places the contact lens C on the upper edge of the inner diameter reducing portion 16 with the back surface of the contact lens C facing the opening 11 so as to be immersed in the mounting liquid L (FIG. 2).

The user puts his / her eyes on the contact lens wearing aid 1 so that the face faces downward and the user fits in the opening 11. At that time, the user holds the upper eyelid with one anti-slip 17 by frictional force so that the distance between the lower end of the upper eyelid and the upper end of the lower eyelid becomes larger than the diameter of the contact lens C, and the other anti-slip 17 Hold the lower eyelids and keep your eyes wide open.

Next, as shown in FIG. 5, the user turns his / her face upward while keeping the contact lens wearing assisting tool 1 on his / her eyes. When the face is turned upward, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting liquid L slowly flows out from the discharge port 14 through the peripheral flow path 13 and the liquid pool flow path 21 to the liquid pool 30 due to gravity. As shown in FIG. 7, the contact lens C is pushed by the mounting liquid L stored in the inner diameter reducing portion 16, and descends as the mounting liquid L in the storage container 10 decreases. At this time, the mounting liquid L flows out symmetrically from the inside of the storage container 10 with respect to the center of the contact lens C so that the contact lens C does not shift from the cornea.

After wearing the contact lens C, the user removes the liquid drain cap 33 and discharges the mounting liquid L stored in the liquid pool 30 in preparation for the next use.

That is, the contact lens mounting auxiliary tool 1 has a storage container 10, a cylinder 20, and a liquid pool 30. The storage container 10 is immersed in the mounting liquid L and the mounting liquid L introduced from the opening 11 so that an opening 11 larger than the width of the eye is provided at one end thereof and the back surface of the contact lens C faces the opening 11. The contact lens C can be held. The tubular body 20 extends from the outer peripheral side of the end portion to form a liquid pool flow path 21 that communicates with the storage container 10. The liquid sump 30 extends from the extending end of the tubular body 20 to one side of the opening 11 and communicates with the liquid sump flow path 21 to store the mounting liquid L flowing out of the storage container 10.

Further, in the contact lens wearing method, a storage container 10 having an opening 11 larger than the width of the eye at one end and a liquid pool flow path 21 extending from the outer peripheral side of the end and communicating with the storage container 10 are provided. A cylinder 20 to be formed and a liquid pool 30 extending from the extending end of the cylinder 20 to one side of the opening 11 and communicating with the liquid pool flow path 21 are prepared, and the back surface of the contact lens C is provided by the storage container 10. Holds the mounting liquid L introduced from the opening 11 and the contact lens C immersed in the mounting liquid L so that the contact lens C faces the opening 11, and puts an eye on the opening 11 of the storage container 10 holding the contact lens C. With the opening 11 facing downward in the applied state, the mounting liquid L in the storage container 10 is discharged to the liquid pool 30 by gravity through the liquid pool flow path 21, and the mounting liquid L in the storage container 10 is reduced. The contact lens C is moved to the opening 11 accordingly, and the contact lens C is attached to the eye.

According to the embodiment, the contact lens wearing assisting tool 1 can more easily wear the contact lens C to the user.

In the embodiment, the contact lens C is placed on the upper edge of the inner diameter reducing portion 16, but instead of placing the contact lens C, the packaging container 40 from which the lid 41 is peeled off is placed in the storage container 10 as shown in FIG. You may set it to. As a result, the user can more hygienically introduce the contact lens C and the mounting liquid L into the storage container 10.

In the embodiment, an example in which two discharge ports 14 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of one end of the peripheral wall 12 has been described, but three or more discharge ports 14 may be provided on the inner peripheral surface. ..

In the embodiment, the contact lens mounting aid 1 can wear the contact lens C to either the left or right eye by one storage container 10, but the storage container 10 for the right eye and the storage container 10 for the left eye are connected to each other.
