Abstract
A lens storage container includes an integrally formed receptacle member having a bottom wall and a sidewall providing a cavity. An upstanding post on the upper surface of the bottom wall has a convexly curved upper end which is spaced below the upper end of the sidewall and seats a contact lens. The post is spaced inwardly from the sidewall along one axis of the receptacle to allow a pair of the users's fingers to be placed upon the post below its upper end and to move upwardly into contact with the periphery of a lens seated thereon. A closure extends across the cavity and is secured to the receptacle member.
