Abstract
A package suitable for carrying an artificial lens which includes a container and a removable insert disposed within the container. The removable insert defines an enclosed insert chamber sufficiently large to hold the artificial lens. The removable insert has insert walls which are sufficiently thin to allow the manipulation of an artificial lens disposed within the insert chamber by applying mechanical force to the exterior of the insert walls. Typically the removable insert is attached to a container cap or other container closure structure having a downwardly directed projection member. In this embodiment, the simple removal of the container cap from the container coincidentally removes the removable insert from the container.
