Abstract: A novel contact lens holder for retaining contact lenses and their storage solution is provided. The contact lens holder provides at least two compartments for retaining each contact lens and its storage solution, each compartment providing protection against leakage of the storage solution. There is provided a contact lens holder including a first compartment with at least one substantially fluid-tight seal to retain the storage solution, and a second compartment encompassing the first compartment. There is also provided a contact lens holder including a lid that is pivotally moveable such that the lid can be positioned at an angle to provide a user with an ergonomically comfortable position when using the contact lens holder. The lid can also include a mirror on its inside surface.
