Abstract: A contact lens case is described which, in some embodiments, includes a housing having at least one contact lens receiving receptacle, an electrical power source mounted to the housing; and at least one light emitting device mounted to the housing. At least a portion of the contact lens receiving receptacle is substantially light transmittable. When a contact lens is placed in a receptacle and light is emitted from the light emitting device, light is transferred through the receptacle and the contact lens is illuminated to improve visual detectability of the contact lens.
