ABSTRACT:
A manually operable contact lens surface treatment apparatus for performing such contact lens surface treatment procedures as polishing, cleaning or lens modification. The apparatus has a sleeve like housing with open ends. A mounting drum is removably inserted in one end of the housing and carries a cloth or pad extended across the retainer opening for access from the opposite end of the sleeve. A contact lens holder is releasably mounted in the opposite end of the sleeve by a mounting assembly permitting axial rotation of the lens holder and axial movement within the sleeve so that a contact lens secured by the holder can be brought into contact with the pad and rotated with respect to it in order to perform a procedure on the lens. A first form of contact lens holder is for holding a rigid lens and a second form is for holding a soft contact lens.
