Description

[0001] Related patent applications [0002] This patent application claims priority to US Patent Application Serial No. 13 / 118,931, filed May 31, 2011, and US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 357,786, filed June 23, 2010. technical field [0003] The present invention describes a case for storing ophthalmic lenses, and more particularly, in some embodiments, the present invention describes a base for receiving a case that has a sterilizing function while storing an ophthalmic lens such as a contact lens . Background technique [0004] Maintaining a clean environment during handling of contact lenses is generally considered necessary for good ophthalmic health. One aspect of cleaning that is often not considered enough is cleaning the outside of the contact lens case. If the contact lens case used to store the contact lens may have pathogens (such as bacteria and fungi) on the outside, then this practice even if the contact lens handler dutifully washes his hand...
