Abstract

Device for disinfecting and storing a contact lens comprising a container (14), a lens holding means (16) for supporting a contact lens, a cap (10) for sealably covering the open end of the container and a gas-permeable, liquid-impermeable membrane fixed to the internal surface of the appliance and positioned to cover all apertures (12) in the appliance to allow oxygen to escape from the device but preventing liquid from escaping from the device when an oxidative disinfectant is used in the appliance.
