Definitions
- FIG. 25 is a bottom perspective view of a substrate showing a frictional surface on the handle end, according to one exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 32 is a cut-away view of a bi-nippled foam restoration member, according to one exemplary embodiment.
- FIG. 33 is a perspective view of the top of a convex nippled foam restoration member, according to one exemplary embodiment.
- a single-use package capable of holding a contact lens.
- the package has two sheets of material; and a support member between the two sheets of material.
- the two sheets of material are sealed on opposing sides of the support member to define a contact lens orifice.
- a contact lens can be compressed or otherwise confined in the package such that the lens is always maintained in a consistent orientation inside the contact lens orifice.
- the lens is maintained with its outer surface oriented toward the top sealing material. This arrangement ensures the lens will be presented to the wearer in the correct configuration for easy removal and insertion into the eye.
- Another exemplary embodiment includes a single-use package with a contact lens therein.
- the package includes two sheets of material sealed on each side of a substrate defining an orifice, a restoring member in the form of a spring disc or a sponge disc and an amount of hydration medium is disposed between the sheets in the orifice.
- the lens is maintained in a flattened state while the package is sealed.
- top sheet member (150) may contain various words and/or images including, but in no way limited to a brand name (300), a design (320), and/or information about the contact (310), for example, that it is for the left or right eye, and instructions for use.
- the spring disc (190) may include interference features, such as a flange or other component that interacts with the substrate (110) to somewhat maintain the position of the spring disc, without being an integrated portion of the substrate.
- the bottom sheet member (160) is not removed during removal of a contact lens (200, FIG. 10) from the contact lens packaging system. Rather, according to one exemplary embodiment, the bottom sheet member (160) is securely adhered to the bottom surface of the substrate (1 10) without access tabs or any other material that allows for the removal of the sheet member. Also illustrated in FIG. 12, the ridged grip area (140) of the substrate (1 10) aids in the gripping and separation of the top sheet member (150) from the substrate.
- FIG. 16 is a side cross-sectional view of a contact lens substrate including a center orifice formed by a two shot mold, according to one exemplary embodiment. As illustrated, the inner wall of the orifice (180) is coated with the barrier material (130) in order to assure sterility of the contact lens.
- the lens and optional shape restoration member may be disposed in the center orifice (step 5310).
- the substrate (110, FIG. 14) is inverted with the top sheet member (150, FIG. 14) oriented down.
- a lens (200, FIG. 14) is then attached to a suction cup manufacturing arm. The arm deposits the lens (200, FIG. 14) in the center orifice (180, FIG. 14) of the substrate. Fluid may be deposited in the package before the lens is inserted, or with the lens.
- the packaging is not filled with a large quantity of saline as is common in traditional packaging, saline fluid does not squirt out of the packaging when it is opened, as commonly happens when traditional packaging is opened.
- the lens since according to various exemplary embodiments disclosed herein the lens is confined to one location and orientation and can be easily located by the consumer, the lens can be easily removed from the packaging by placing a finger on only outside surface of the lens, leaving the other side (which will rest on the eye) sterile.
- both sides of the lens are touched in an effort to find the lens in the saline fluid in the boat, or the lens is pushed up against the boat and may touch the un-sterile upper rim of the boat is avoided.
- the present exemplary system and method also facilitates orientation and placement of the lens on the finger for insertion on to the eye when compared to traditional packaging, where the lens may be floating in 5 various orientations in the boat.
