Abstract

An improved container for storing and conditioning both hard and soft contact lenses. A pair of lens-retaining baskets are pivotally mounted within the cap of a fluid-tight container. With the cap removed and inverted, the baskets may be folded outwardly to allow unimpaired access to the lenses therein. The basket lids open in a common direction, providing immediate identification of right and left lens baskets.
