Abstract

A compactly configured contact lens case for storing contact lenses which includes at least one mirrored closure cap. The mirror is viewable as the top surface of the closure cap. The contact lens case includes two reservoirs that share a common base and are coaxially oriented and threaded to accept cylindrical closure caps that engage the opposite ends of the cylindrical body and have inner peripheral surfaces that are coaxially related to the outer peripheral surfaces of the two cylindrical reservoirs of the body. The mirrors' primary function is to provide a close proximity view of the insertion or abstraction of the contact lens into or from the users' eye. The user will hold the mirrored closure cap directly in front of the eye with one hand, while performing the act of inserting or abstracting the contact lens into or from the eye with the opposite hand.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A contact lens case for storing contact lenses comprising: 
 a base having a top side;    at least one reservoir on the top side of said base and having an outer surface;    a flange for said at least one said reservoir, said flange being attached to the outer surface of said reservoir and having its own outer surface; and    a reflective surface covering for the outer surface of at least one said flange and having a reflective outer surface.    
   
   
       2 . The contact lens case of  claim 1 , wherein said outer surface of said reservoir includes threads.  
   
   
       3 . The contact lens case of  claim 2 , wherein each said flange has an inner surface that includes threads adapted to engage said threads of said reservoir.  
   
   
       4 . The contact lens case of  claim 1 , wherein said outer surface of at least one said flange includes a basin.  
   
   
       5 . The contact lens case of  claim 4 , wherein said reflective surface is adhered within said basin, and having a reflective outer surface.  
   
   
       6 . A contact lens case for viewing insertion or abstraction of contact lens into or from the eye comprising: 
 a base having a top side;    at least one reservoir on the top side of said base and having an outer surface;    a flange having a basin for said at least one said reservoir, said flange being removably attached to the outer surface of each said reservoir and having an outer surface; and    a reflective surface attached to the outer surface of at least one said flange and having a reflective outer surface.    
   
   
       7 . The contact lens case of  claim 6 , wherein said outer surface of said reservoir includes threads.  
   
   
       8 . The contact lens case of  claim 8 , wherein said flange has an inner surface that includes threads adapted to engage said threads of each respective said reservoir.  
   
   
       9 . The contact lens case of  claim 8 , wherein said reflective surface is of a depth that is less than that of the depth of said basin and is secured within said basin by the folding toward center of the additional depth of the said basin over the depth of said reflective surface, and having a reflective outer surface.  
   
   
       10 . A contact lens case for viewing insertion or abstraction of contact lens into or from the eye comprising: 
 a base having a top side;    at least one threaded reservoir on the top side of said base and having an outer surface;    a flange for said at least one said reservoir, said flange being removably attached to the outer surface of each said reservoir and having an outer surface; and    a reflective surface adhered to the outer surface of said at least one said flange and having a reflective outer surface.    
   
   
       11 . The contact lens case of  claim 10 , wherein said flange has an inner surface that includes threads adapted to engage said threads of each respective said reservoir.
