Abstract (en)
A contact case (2) is provided with a lid (4) that allows for easy gripping and opening of a contact lens case. The lid includes two surfaces, a soft gripping outer surface (10) and an inner surface. The soft gripping outer surface provides friction between the user's fingers and the lid, thus allowing a contact lens case to be easily grasped and opened. Preferably, the inner surface is a hard polypropylene and the soft gripping outer surface is a thermoplastic elastomer that covers the entire inner surface. The invention also provides a method of making the above described lid.
