Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9927813A1] A container (10) is provided for storing a contact lens (1) in a liquid, the contact lens having a base surface (52) defining a base curve equivalent radius (54) and a front surface (50). The container includes a base portion (14) and a bowl portion (16) formed integral with the base portion for containing the liquid and the contact lens. The bowl portion includes a lens seating section (38) having an inner surface defined by a radius (42) sized from slightly larger than to equal to the base curve equivalent radius so that the front surface of the contact lens removably adheres to the inner surface. The base curve equivalent radius may be from about 85 % to about 100 % of the inner surface radius, and the inner surface radius may be about 9.0 mm.
