Abstract: A display container for eyeglass lenses includes a plate to receive the eyeglass lens to be displayed and two half-shells pivoted to the edge of the plate about a pivot axis globally perpendicular to the plate. Each half-shell can move between a closed position wherein, juxtaposed to each other, they conjointly form a protective shell around the plate, and an open position in which they uncover the plate. The plate has a globally circular contour, has no rim over at least part of its edge and has locally projecting from it at least three locking pegs for holding the eyeglass lens.
