Abstract: A contact lens package that is reusable as a case to store a contact lens between uses includes a bottom member having a well with an inside generally concave shape, and a wall rising above the well and ending in a top rim defining an opening; a temporary seal comprising a moisture-proof film sealed across the top rim to seal the opening, thus defining a volume within the package, the volume containing a contact lens and contact lens fluid; and a cap secured to the bottom member covering the temporary seal, the cap being removable to give access to the temporary seal and replaceable on the bottom member thereafter to provide storage of the contact lens between uses thereof.

Abstract: A contact case is provided with a lid that allows for easy gripping and opening of a contact lens case. The lid includes two surfaces, a soft gripping outer surface and an inner surface. The soft gripping outer surface provides friction between the user's fingers and the lid, thus allowing a contact lens case to be easily grasped and opened. Preferably, the inner surface is a hard polypropylene and the soft gripping outer surface is a thermoplastic elastomer that covers the entire inner surface. The invention also provides a method of making the above described lid.
