ABSTRACT:
A device for removing, storing and applying contact lenses comprises a plurality of compartments arranged axially spaced in a cylindrical body with the base of each compartment formed by a portion which can be unscrewed from the remainder and which defines the cover for the next adjacent portion. An end compartment receives an applicaator head which is stored within the compartment in a suitable liquid. The applicator includes a suction bulb and the head which is in the form of a cylindrical body having a peripheral edge of approximately the diameter of the outer edge of the lens and a membrane extending across the cylindrial body. The membrane has an upper surface for engaging the lens which is perforated so that suction applied by the bulb draws the lens onto the membrane and then further suction distorts the membrane to pull the sides of the cylindrical portion inwardly to pinch the lens and break the seal.
