ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for cleaning and sterilizing a soft plastic lens in which the device comprises only three elements; namely, a container for receiving a cleaning or a sterilizing liquid and a lens, a strainer and a cap having a plurality of radially extending impellers. The cap encloses the open end of the container and with movement of the two elements so assembled in a back and forth direction, the cleaning or sterilizing liquid is agitated and swirled with the lens being moved therethrough. The strainer is used as an intermediate member that is enclosed by the cap, when the device is inverted after cleaning, rinsing and sterilizing of the lens, to permit the lens to settle onto the central partition of the strainer before the cap is removed to allow the sterilizing liquid to drain from the container. With removal of the container from the strainer, the lens is retained on the strainer and available for pick-up by a sterile inserter.
