Abstract
A contact lens cleaner device which can be used to clean contact lenses from debris and bacteria. The contact lens cleaner device pumps contact lens solution into reservoirs where contact lenses can be placed. The contact lenses rotate within the reservoirs and debris falls into a filter, as the contact lens solution continues to be pumped through the device. UV-lighting kills bacteria and cleanses the contact lenses in the reservoirs.
Claims22
A contact lens cleaner device, comprising:
- a contact lens storage compartment, the contact lens storage compartment comprising:
- a reservoir for storing at least one contact lens wherein the reservoir is a bowl-shaped compartment for receiving a contact lens having a concave inner surface and the concave inner surface has a plurality of protrusions on top of which the contact lens is received to remove debris from the contact lenses via abrasion, and the plurality of protrusions being distributed throughout the surface area of the concave inner surface to form an abrasive surface;
- an inlet to the reservoir of the contact lens storage compartment;
- an outlet from the reservoir of the contact lens storage compartment;
- a pump comprising a discharge port and a suction port, wherein the discharge port is in fluid communication with the inlet to the contact lens storage compartment and
- a filter having a filter inlet and a filter outlet, wherein the filter inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet from the contact lens storage compartment and the filter outlet is in fluid communication with the suction port.

A contact lens cleaning device, comprising:
- a left contact lens storage compartment, the left contact lens storage compartment comprising a left reservoir for storing a left contact lens, wherein the left reservoir is a bowl-shaped compartment for receiving a contact lens having a left concave inner surface and the left concave inner surface has a plurality of protrusions on top of which the contact lens is received to remove debris from the left contact lens via abrasion, and the plurality of protrusions being distributed throughout the surface area of the left concave inner surface to form an abrasive surface;
- a left compartment inlet to the left reservoir of the left contact lens storage compartment;
- a left compartment outlet from the left reservoir of the contact lens storage compartment;
- and
- a filter, the filter having a filter inlet and a filter outlet;
- a right contact lens storage compartment, the right contact lens storage compartment comprising:
- a right reservoir for storing a right contact lens, wherein the right reservoir is a bowl-shaped compartment for receiving a right contact lens having a right concave inner surface and the right concave inner surface has a plurality of protrusions on top of which the contact lens is received to remove debris from the right contact lens via abrasion, and the plurality of protrusions being distributed throughout the surface area of the right concave inner surface to form an abrasive surface;
- a right compartment inlet to the right reservoir of the right contact lens storage compartment;
- a right compartment outlet from the right reservoir of the contact lens storage compartment;
- and
- a pump comprising a discharge port and a suction port, wherein the discharge port is in fluid communication with both the left compartment inlet and the right compartment inlet.
