A contact lens package may include a first package layer, a second package layer, a lens receiving area defined between the first and second package layers, a first seal portion between the first and second package layers extending around a first portion of the lens receiving area, a second seal portion between the first and second package layers extending around a second portion of the lens receiving area, and the second seal portion having different sealing properties than the first seal portion. The second seal portion together with the first seal portion complete a seal around the lens receiving area. The first seal portion defines an unsealed gap at a location around the lens receiving area, and the second seal portion closes the gap. The gap allows a flow of fluids after a formation of the first seal.

The present disclosure provides a contact lens package containing a contact lens in a compressed state.
