Contact Lens Cleansing Case
A contact lens cleansing case including a base plate implement with a generally elongate shape. A first chamber segment is disposed on a left portion of the base plate implement to house a contact lens for cleaning. A second chamber segment is disposed on a right portion of the base plate implement to house another contact lens for cleaning. A gear housing is disposed on a top section of the base plate for protecting a gear implement. A twist knob implement is configured to control the first and second chamber to implement the cleaning of contact lenses.
Contact Lens Dispenser
Contact lens dispensers are provided including a pens dispenser having an interior and a dispensing end. A delivery screw is provided in the interior of the tubular housing. The delivery screw has a thread pitch and a plurality of contact lenses, one contact lens per pitch. Upon actuation of an actuator, each contact lens moves along the thread by a distance of one pitch and a single contact lens is dispensed from the dispensing end of the tubular housing. A case and disposable foil contact lens cartridge are also provided as a re a case and disposable contact lens foil spool, wherein actuation of push-buttons dispense contact lenses ready for immediate application onto an eye.
Smart automated contact lens cleansing device
An automated contact lens cleansing device configurable for performing a plurality of cleansing cycles having different characteristics. The device includes a storage unit configured for storing a cleansing solution. The cleansing device also include a first solution transfer line that, during operation of the device, transfers the cleansing solution from the solution storage unit to a reservoir, as well as a second solution transfer line that, during operation of the device, transfers the cleansing solution from a reservoir to a drain. During operation, the reservoir houses the contact lens for at least one cleansing cycle. The device also includes one or more memories storing instructions to perform at least one of the plurality of cleansing cycles and a processor that, when executing the stored instructions, controls at least one of the first solution transfer line, the second solution transfer line, and the housing for the at least one cleansing cycle.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR STORING, PRESERVING AND CLEANING CONTACT LENSES
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.

Contact lens cleaner
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.
Multi-chamber fluid cartridge for smart automated contact lens cleansing device
A multi-chamber fluid cartridge is configured for storage of unused cleansing solution to be used by an automated contact lens cleansing device and for storage of used cleansing solution drained from the device. For example, the multi-chamber fluid cartridge may include a first chamber configured to store the unused cleansing solution and a second chamber configured to store the used cleansing solution. After being reversibly mated with the automated contact lens cleansing device, a controlled amount of the unused cleansing solution may be transferred from the first chamber to a reservoir within the automated contact lens cleansing device for performance of one or more cleansing cycles. Upon completion of the cleansing cycles, the used cleansing solution may be drained from the reservoir to the second chamber for storage until replacement of the multi-chamber fluid cartridge.
Smart automated contact lens cleansing device
A cleansing solution receptacle provides sterile cleansing solution when reversibly mated with a cleansing device that forces the 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.
Self-cleaning system for vision protective lens
A self-cleaning system for a vision protective lens comprises a chassis configured to be worn on a user's head, the chassis having a main body portion defining a field of view. At least one lens is coupled in angularly displaceable manner to the chassis and disposed to extend at least partially across the field of view. At least one wiper blade unit is supported on the chassis to extend across an outer surface of the lens about the field of view. The wiper blade unit includes a blade portion engaging the outer surface of the lens. A drive portion is coupled to selectively drive angular displacement of the lens. The lens is angularly displaced in selectively driven manner relative to the wiper blade unit; and, the lens is at least partially wiped by the blade portion to be cleared prior to advancement angularly into the field of view.
Eye contact case and method of use
A contact lens case with a plurality of sections configured to conjoin to each other. The sections each contain one or more hemispherical wells that align to form a spherical cavity to hold the contact lens therein when the sections are conjoined. The cavity may also be an ovoid, globular or a flattened sphere. The case may also include a first magnet to couple the first section to the second section, where the second section may have a second magnet or a magnetic material in a location that corresponds to the first magnet.
