Benefits of technology

The present in this patented technology improves upon existing lens cases used during eye treatments by providing better capabilities like storing and carrying them safely while also being easy-to-use at home when needed. This makes it easier than traditional methods because users can just hold one box around their own lamps instead of having multiple boxes each time they go through different steps involved in cleaning and disinfecting contact lenss.

Problems solved by technology

This technical problem addressed in this patents relates to providing better accessibility and ease of handling contact lamps while maintaining good quality optical benefits through regular maintenance procedures. Current methods involve individually packaging each item separately, making them bulky and prone to damage due to environmental factors like temperature changes and humidity. Additionally, current lens boxes lack convenient opening and closing mechanisms, requiring both hands and fingers, leading consumers to forget about keeping track of labeled items afterward. There remains room for improvement upon existing lens management devices without compromising safety concerns associated therewith.
