Abstract
A contact lens travel device having a flexible body is provided. The body of the device is configurable to a circular configuration wherein fasteners engaged with opposing ends of the body compressively engage the body encircled around an eyeglass case. So engaged, the device is positionable as a stand for a mirror at multiple angles above a support surface for a user to employ for contact lens insertion or removal from their eyes. A fluid container is engageable within a pocket of the body with a cap end of the container extending from the perimeter to allow for dispensing of eye drops therefrom without removal of the container from the pocket.
Claims14
A contact lens travel apparatus comprising:
- a body having a first side surface opposite a second side surface, said body having a first side edge which is opposite a second side edge, said first side edge and said second side edge of said body, extending between a first end and a second end of said body;
- a first pocket positioned upon said body, said first pocket having a first pocket opening providing access thereto, said first pocket adapted to hold a contact lens case therein;
- a second pocket positioned upon said body, said second pocket having a second pocket opening, said second pocket adapted for holding a fluid container therein;
- a first elongated member engaged with a central portion of said body and extending along a first axis of said first elongated member at or adjacent said first end of said body, toward a second end of said first elongated member;
- a second elongated member engaged with said central portion of said body and extending along a second axis of said second elongated member at or adjacent said second end of said body, toward a second end of said first elongated member;
- said first elongated member and said second elongated member each positionable between an elongated configuration and a curled configuration;
- said first elongated member in said elongated configuration maintaining said first end of said body substantially planar;
- said first elongated member in said curled configuration imparting a biasing force maintaining said first end of said body in a first curve;
- said second elongated member in said elongated configuration maintaining said second end of said body substantially planar;
- said second elongated member in said curled configuration imparting a biasing force maintaining said second end of said body in a second curve;
- said first and second elongated members in a respective said curled configuration holding said body in a removable engagement with said first end of said body in a biased contact with said second end of said body;
- a first flap portion extending from said central portion of said first end of said body in-between said first side edge and said second side edge;
- a second flap portion extending from said central portion of said second end of said body in-between said first side edge and said second side edge;
- said first elongated member having said first end thereof at or adjacent said first end of said body in said first flap portion;
- said second elongated member having said second end thereof at or adjacent said second end of said body in said second flap portion;
- said removable engagement maintaining said body in a circular configuration defining a opening surrounded by one of said first side surface or said second side surface of said body;
- said removable engagement being adjustable to adjust a distance of said overlap to thereby adjust said size of said opening;
- and
- said opening adapted in a size to form a contact of said first side surface or said second side surface of said body, against an exterior circumference of an eyeglass case.
