Abstract
A cleansing solution receptacle provides sterile cleansing solution when reversibly mated with a cleansing device that forces the fresh, unused contact lens solution in a manner that jets the front and back surfaces of an item with sufficient force to prevent air bubbles from clinging to surface areas of the item. Further, the cleansing device submerges the item in the fresh, unused contact cleansing solution for a controlled threshold cleansing time to ensure proper removal of contaminate build-ups on the item. Further still, according to inventive concepts, devices are automatically cleansed and dried to ensure sterility.
Claims15
A system for automated cleansing of a contact lens using a plurality of cleansing cycles having different characteristics, the system comprising:
- a cleansing solution receptacle configured to store sterile cleansing solution within an interior of the cleansing solution receptacle, the cleansing solution receptacle comprising:
- a coupling configured to reversibly mate with a solution storage container portion of an automated contact lens cleansing device, the automated contact lens cleansing device configured to perform the plurality of cleansing cycles on one or more contact lenses;
- and
- a seal configured to prevent external access to the sterile cleansing solution,
- where, in a first state prior to being coupled with the automated contact lens cleansing device and in which the seal is unbroken, the cleansing solution receptacle is configured to maintain sterility of the sterile cleansing solution, and
- where, in a second state in which the seal has become unsealed by the cleansing solution receptacle being mated with the solution storage container portion, the cleansing solution receptacle is configured to provide a flow path for the sterile cleansing solution to the solution storage container portion.
