Prefilled, resealable contact lens container

A method of making a container for holding contact lenses and contact lens treatment solutions comprising the steps of:

• providing a base member comprising a compartment having a predetermined length and width and a laterally projecting flange around the perimeter of said compartment;
• said compartment being defined by a bottom surface and side wall surfaces extending between said bottom surface and said laterally projecting flange;
• filling said compartment with a contact lens treatment solution;
• providing a cover member equipped with means unitary therewith to slidingly engage the laterally projecting flange on said base member, said cover member is sufficient in size to extend across the full length and width of said compartment;
• slidingly engaging said cover member with said laterally projecting flange on said base member so that a fluid-tight seal is obtained when said cover member is placed in a fully closed position on said base member.
