  • Ophthalmic lenses including contact lenses, intra-ocular lenses and overlay lenses and particularly disposable contact lenses, have been conventionally packaged in “blister packs.”
  • a blister pack comprises a rigid plastic (e.g., polypropylene), concave-shaped receptacle for receiving an ophthalmic 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.
  • a single ophthalmic lens and a sufficient amount of contact lens solution to prevent drying of the ophthalmic lens and to maintain the ophthalmic lens readily available for use.
  • FIG. 1 is a top perspective view of a contact lens package constructed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention in a closed position;
  • FIG. 2 is a top elevational view of the contact lens package of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view, taken along section line 3 - 3 and looking in the direction of the arrows, of the contact lens package shown in FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a top perspective view of the contact lens package shown in FIG. 1 in an open position.
  • the invention includes an ophthalmic lens package, comprising a first shell member having a first end and a second end; a second shell member having a first end and a second end, said first and second shell members being pivotable relative to each other between a closed position, in which said first and second shell members are removably attached to each other, and an open position, in which said first and second shell members are pivoted away from each other; a connecting means for connecting said first and second members at their said first ends; and a receptacle interposed between said first and second shell members while they are in their said closed position, said receptacle being adapted to receive and house an ophthalmic lens and an amount of solution.

  • the band 50 and the groove 56 are sized and shaped to interlock with one another when the tabs 22 , 26 are juxtaposed with one another.
  • the band 52 and the groove 58 are sized and shaped to interlock with one another when the tabs 22 , 26 are juxtaposed with one another.
  • the band 50 and the groove 56 are maintained in an interlocking configuration by heat sealing.
  • the band 52 and the groove 56 are maintained in an interlocking configuration by heat sealing.
  • other attachment means such as adhesives, induction sealing or sonic welding, may be utilized.
  • the tab 22 includes the two bands 50 , 52 , but it may include a greater of lesser number than two.
  • the tab 26 preferably, includes the two grooves 56 , 58 , but it may include a greater or lesser number than two.
  • the package 10 need not include the bands 50 , 52 and the grooves 56 , 58 .
  • the absorbent member 16 is positioned within the cavity 28 , while the absorbent member 18 is positioned within the cavity 32 .
  • the size and shape of the absorbent member 16 are substantially similar to the size and shape of the cavity 28 in order to allow the absorbent member 16 to firmly fit therein.
  • the size and shape of the absorbent member 18 are, preferably, substantially similar to the size and shape of the cavity 32 in order to allow the absorbent member 18 to firmly fit therein. It is also noted that the size and shape of each of the absorbent members 16 , 18 maintains the shape of the package 10 .

  • the absorbent members 16 , 18 are saturated with contact lens solution (not shown in the Figures), which can be any known solution useful for storing contact lenses, such as saline solution, water or buffered aqueous solutions, thereby keeping the contact lens 76 saturated. It is preferred that the solution is an aqueous saline solution.
  • the chamber 74 may be partially or fully filled with contact lens solution (not shown in the Figures). It is noted that the preferred interior volume of the chamber 74 is one that is sufficient to house the contact lens 76 and enough contact lens solution to keep it saturated and retain the intended shape and softness of the lens 76 (i.e., a convex-shape).
  • each of the tabs 22 , 26 is, preferably, semi-circular in shape, but each can consist of other shapes and sizes.
  • each of the absorbent members 16 , 18 is, preferably, semi-circular in shape, but it can consist of other shapes and sizes.

  • the user simultaneously pulls each of the tabs 22 , 26 and peels apart the shell members 12 , 14 , which pivot at the hinge 40 , thus breaking the seals between the bands 50 , 52 and the grooves 56 , 58 and the seal between the flanges 30 , 34 .
  • the seals between the bands 50 , 52 and the grooves 56 , 58 prevent inadvertent opening of the package 10 when it is in a closed position.
