An apparatus for storing, preserving and cleaning contact lenses includes a base housing; one or more lens bowls transparent to selected ranges of UV and IR light wavelengths; UV and IR light sources to direct UV and IR light into the lens bowls; a removable cover opaque to the UV light; one or more closure sensors to sense the status of the cover; a power supply; and, a controller in control communication with the UV and IR light sources, the power supply and the closure sensors, the controller causing the UV and IR light sources to cease emitting when the cover is not closed.

A cleaner for cleaning grippers for the transport of ophthalmic lenses comprises: an exhaust air box comprising at least one inlet opening for allowing ambient air as well as lenses, lens parts, debris and fluid adhered to the grippers to be sucked into an interior of the exhaust air box, an outlet opening in fluid communication with the interior of the exhaust air box and a cleaner head arranged on the exhaust air box and comprising a plurality of receiver sleeves for receiving the grippers to be cleaned, a plurality of shutters, wherein each individual shutter of the plurality of shutters is arranged to open or close the fluid communication of at least one receiver sleeve (5) of the plurality of receiver sleeves (5) and the interior of the exhaust air box (1).

A contact lens cleaner device which can be used to clean contact lenses from debris and bacteria. The contact lens cleaner device pumps contact lens solution into reservoirs where contact lenses can be placed. The contact lenses rotate within the reservoirs and debris falls into a filter, as the contact lens solution continues to be pumped through the device. UV-lighting kills bacteria and cleanses the contact lenses in the reservoirs.

Disclosed herein is a cleaning device for orthokeratology lens, comprising a housing, a cap, a gear module, two cleaning shaft, two cleaning head, and a rotating shaft. The housing comprises two orthokeratology lens bases and an opening. The cap is disposed on the opening. The cleaning shaft comprises a first end connecting to the gear module and a second end. The cleaning head is disposed on the second end of the cleaning shaft. The rotating shaft connects to the gear module.

A method for dyeing a functional contact lens includes steps of: providing a lens body; formulating a first solution, wherein the first solution is an ionic salt solution containing an alkali; placing the lens body in the first solution and reacting at 30 C. to 80 C.; formulating a second solution, wherein the second solution is an ionic salt solution containing at least one reactive dye; and placing the lens body in the second solution and reacting at 30 C. to 80 C.; wherein the at least one reactive dye reacts with the lens body to be fixed to a surface portion of the lens body. In order to achieve one or a portion or all of the above or other objects, the present invention further provides a functional contact lens including a lens body and a dye layer on a surface of the lens body and can be obtained by the aforementioned method.

An ophthalmic product having an antioxidative function includes an ophthalmic composition. The ophthalmic composition includes gold nanoparticles and at least one antioxidative auxiliary ingredient. The effective concentration of the gold nanoparticles is from 0.01 ppm to 3000 ppm. The content of the at least one antioxidative auxiliary ingredient is greater than 0 wt % and less than 20 wt % based on 100 wt % of the ophthalmic composition.

A cleansing device that forces fresh, unused contact lens solution in a manner that jets the front and back surfaces of an item with sufficient force to prevent air bubbles from clinging to surface areas of the item. Further, the cleansing device submerges the item in the fresh, unused contact cleansing solution for a controlled threshold cleansing time to ensure proper removal of contaminate build-ups on the item. Further still, according to inventive concepts, devices are automatically cleansed and dried to ensure sterility. As such, the cleansing device is ready for another cleansing cycle prior to the user's next scheduled cleansing cycle.

A contact lens tool kit for placement of a contact lens on an eye is provided. The tool kit may include a contact lens tool. The contact lens tool may include an outer edge for selectively engaging a contact lens. The tool kit may also include a lens housing for containing a contact lens, the lens housing selectively engageable with the tool. Engagement of the tool and the lens housing permits reception of the contact lens by the contact lens tool and disengagement of the two permits removal of the contact lens by the tool. The lens housing may include a removable seal for draining solution through an aperture of the contact lens tool or lens housing.

A device for cleaning a contact lens includes a lid, a base portion and a drawer unit detachably coupled to the base portion. The drawer unit includes a container holding a volume of fluid therein. The device also includes a vibration generator for generating an oscillatory motion on the container, where the oscillatory motion induces turbulence in the fluid with sufficient force to dislodge deposits from a lens immersed in the fluid. The device also includes a circuit board secured to the base portion and a light source for generating radiation to disinfect the dislodged deposits in the fluid. A suspension secures the light source to the circuit board and a resonance frequency of the suspension is offset from a frequency of the oscillatory motion.

A contact lens storing device (100) includes a casing (10) and a control unit (20). The casing (10) is formed with at least one accommodating space (12) for accommodating a contact lens and a contact lens care solution. The control unit (20) includes a control module (21), and a pair of electrodes (22) electrically connected to the control module (21) and disposed in the at least one accommodating space (12). The electrodes (22) and the control module (21) are operable to apply an electric current to the contact lens care solution accommodated in the at least one accommodating space (12) so as to generate an intermolecular interaction between the contact lens care solution and the contact lens. A method for storing a contact lens is also provided.
