  • Patent number: 6572165
    Abstract: A manipulator serving for applying a contact lens in or removing it from a user's eye. The manipulator is of the kind that includes a manipulation part for holding the manipulator with the fingers, a supporting part on the manipulation part with the same or a slightly smaller diameter than the contact lens, and a concave face on the supporting part for in use detachably receiving the contact lens. The manipulator furthermore includes a slit made in the supporting part and extending from its concave face. When the manipulator is used to remove a contact lens from an eye, the user presses the slit together a little so that a fold is preliminarily made with a subjacent channel for taking air from the open in under the loosened parts of the contact lens. Using the manipulator according to the invention, a contact lens can easily and safely be removed from a user's eye without risk of thereby injuring the cornea.

  • Patent number: 6471052
    Abstract: A magazine for keeping a number of contact lenses kept in each their fluid-filled chamber is disclosed. Each chamber has a supporting wall with a concave face fitting the convex side of the contact lens. The supporting walls are placed in a row along the axis of the concave faces, each supporting wall is detachably separating consecutive chambers. The magazine contains several contact lenses at a time and constitutes an inexpensive and expedient package. When a contact lens is applied in an eye, the magazine is placed with the skirts pointing downwards. The lowest support is then removed from the rest of the magazine with a finger stuck into the skirt of the supporting wall. Due to the moisture present, the contact lens is adhering to the supporting wall which together with its skirt is now transformed into an effective applicator for applying a contact lens in an eye.

  • Patent number: 6401915
    Abstract: A package (1) for, together with a saline solution (14), storing a contact lens (9) has an applicator for applying the contact lens in an eye (17). The package comprises a cup (4) with a convex surface (7) and a fingerstall (3) with a concave surface (11). The cup and the fingerstall are, in the unopened condition of the package, closely joined with a strip (5) which is relatively easily torn off when the package is to be opened. When the cup is removed from the fingerstall, this functions as an applicator with the wet contact lens adhering to the concave surface of the fingerstall. By means of the package, the contact lens can be applied in an eye in a clean and sterile condition and without risk of the contact lens carrying foreign bodies and bacteria-containing dirt which might irritate and damage the eye.
