Abstract

L'invention concerne un kit de lentille de contact (10) comprenant une paire de demi-coquilles (12,14) fixées libérable l'une à l'autre. Un élément en éponge (18) disposé entre les demi-coquilles présente un renfoncement (72) destiné à recevoir une lentille de contact (76) et une solution pour lentilles de contact. Une des extrémités de chacune des demi-coquilles présente un onglet (22, 26), les deux onglets étant juxtaposés lorsque les demi-coquilles sont fixées l'une à l'autre. Pour ouvrir le kit, on écarte les onglets juxtaposés (22, 26) l'un de l'autre et l'on sépare les demi-coquilles (12, 14 ), ce qui donne accès à la lentille de contact (76). Les onglets (22, 26) comportent des ouvertures alignées (38, 44) permettant de suspendre le kit par l'une de ses extrémités. L'une des demi-coquilles comporte une fenêtre (36) par où la lentille de contact (76) est visible.
