Abstract

A compactly configured contact lens case for storing contact lenses which includes at least one mirrored closure cap. The mirror is viewable as the top surface of the closure cap. The contact lens case includes two reservoirs that share a common base and are coaxially oriented and threaded to accept cylindrical closure caps that engage the opposite ends of the cylindrical body and have inner peripheral surfaces that are coaxially related to the outer peripheral surfaces of the two cylindrical reservoirs of the body. The mirrors' primary function is to provide a close proximity view of the insertion or abstraction of the contact lens into or from the users' eye. The user will hold the mirrored closure cap directly in front of the eye with one hand, while performing the act of inserting or abstracting the contact lens into or from the eye with the opposite hand.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates generally to contact lens cases and more particularly to a novel contact lens case that is designed to have a compact configuration, while providing a reflective surface (e.g. mirror) in the construction of one or more of the contact lens cases' caps (or lids) in order to conveniently view the insertion or abstraction of the contact lens into or from the eye. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] The use of contact lenses has become a popular addition, or alternative, to the use of eyeglasses. Because it is commonplace for those who have partially impaired vision to own and use both eyeglasses and contact lenses, users of contact lenses often carry in their possession the contact lens case in which to store the contact lenses in the event they want to make the change from wearing eyeglasses to wearing contact lenses, or visa versa, while going about their daily activities. In addition,...
