ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for heat-sterilizing contact lenses, particularly soft lenses includes a housing having a sterilizing chamber, a heater for heating the sterilizing chamber, and a temperature sensor adapted to detect the temperature of the sterilizing chamber. The temperature sensor comprises a flexible sensor container, a material sealed into the sensor container, and a sealing end portion. The material sealed in the container has a melting point or liquefaction point corresponding to the temperature in a zone surrounding the sterilizing chamber. The sealing end portion has a mechanism for interrupting heating when the detected temperature reaches a predetermined level.
