Contact lens packaging container
The present invention relates to a contact lens packaging container. According to an embodiment of the present invention, an edge protection portion configured such that the peripheral zone of a contact lens is supported thereon in order to prevent the efficacy of the contact lens from being damaged and an optical zone protection portion configured such that the optical zone of the contact lens is supported in the state of having been pressed are formed on each accommodation portion of a body, thereby providing the advantageous effect of enabling contact lenses to be efficiently packaged in a narrow space and thus minimizing the size of the contact lens packaging container.
1. A contact lens packaging container, comprising:
a body having a first accommodation portion configured to be filled with a contact lens solution and to be open upward, and a second accommodation portion configured to be filled with a contact lens solution and to be open downward, the first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion having structures which are symmetrical with respect to a horizontal plane;
contact lenses configured such that a convex portion of each of the contact lenses is placed to be oriented toward an open direction in a state of having been submerged in the contact lens solution;
a first packaging foil configured to be fusibly bonded to an upper end of the body so that the first accommodation portion of the body is sealed; and
a second packaging foil configured to be fusibly bonded to a lower end of the body so that the second accommodation portion of the body is sealed,
wherein an edge protection portion is formed to protrude in a ring shape from any one side or each of both sides of a lower surface of the first accommodation portion and an upper surface of the second accommodation portion so that a peripheral zone of the contact lens can be supported thereon,
wherein a finger support groove is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the body in a concave form so that fingers are placed and supported on the finger support groove when the first packaging foil or the second packaging foil is removed,
wherein a height of the first accommodation portion and second accommodation portion of the body is formed to be smaller than that of the contact lens, and thus the contact lens is accommodated in a state in which an optical zone thereof has been pressed, and
wherein an optical zone protection portion concentrically disposed within the edge protection portion is formed to protrude from the any one side or each of the both sides of the lower surface of the first accommodation portion and the upper surface of the second accommodation portion so that the pressed optical zone of the contact lens can be supported thereon.
2. The contact lens packaging container of claim 1 , wherein a grip portion is formed on one side or both sides of each of the first packaging foil and the second packaging foil so that the first packaging foil and the second packaging foil can be gripped.
3. The contact lens packaging container of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the body ranges from 2 to 6 mm.
