Definitions

  • Contact lenses are small lenses that are worn directly on the eye and are widely used to correct vision variations. Contact lenses have traditionally been either rigid (hard) or soft. One important consideration in wearing contact lenses is eye health, another is convenience. Contact lenses are placed directly on the eye. Consequently, it is important that the contact lenses and their packaging not introduce any unwanted contamination into the eye.
  • contact lenses Another consideration in the use and manufacture of contact lenses is convenience. Contact lenses that are intended to be replaced more often may not be as convenient to the user because of the frequent need to buy or otherwise replace the contact lenses. In addition, the secondary packaging of contact lenses is often difficult to understand. Traditionally the contact lenses are provided in a box which may contain multiple 'blister packages' of contact lenses. Although for some contact lens wearers only one level or strength of contact lenses is required, many users require a different strength for each eye which may necessitate the ordering of two different boxes of contact lenses.
  • the secondary packaging of the contact lens does not include the patient's prescription information. This may be problematic, especially if the patient requires different strength contacts for each eye because the patient may not always remember which contact strength corresponds to each eye. This problem may be compounded if the user does not remember to open a new box of contact lenses before disposing of the previous set of lenses. It may be difficult for the user to determine which of two boxes of contact lenses is intended for a specific eye, especially since the user may have significant visual impairment.

  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a primary contact lens blister package according to one embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another primary contact lens package according to one embodiment.
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a contact lens dispensing unit according to one embodiment.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a secondary contact lens package containing a six months supply of contact lenses pre-loaded into contact lens dispensing units according to one exemplary embodiment.

  • FIG. 8 is a flow-chart of an exemplary method.
  • FIG. 9 illustrates the packaging and flow of a contact lens according to one exemplary embodiment of a contact lens packaging system.
  • the present specification describes systems and methods for providing contact lenses to users.
  • the secondary contact lens package provided by the manufacturer includes the patient's prescription information such as the patient's name, the prescribing doctor's name and phone number, usage information, and other information related specifically to the patient's prescription.
  • the present system and method includes a method of doing business in which contact lenses may be stored by a contact lens provider and supplied the consumer in an efficient and economical on-demand manner.
  • primary package As used herein and in the appended claims, the terms “primary package,” “primary packaging,” or “primary case” will be used to refer to the packaging in which a contact lens is placed during the manufacturing processes. This package is traditionally a 'blister' package but other primary packages are also used.
  • secondary case “secondary contact lens case” and “secondary package” shall be used interchangeably and shall be interpreted broadly as including any container or packaging that a lens or supply of lenses may be placed in subsequent to being placed into a primary package.
  • Secondary packaging includes any box or package that a supply of contact lenses may be placed in by the manufacturer for delivery to the lens wearer, a distributor, or to another destination.
  • the terms "manufacturer” or “distributor” will be used to refer to a third party provider of contacts lenses who provide contact lenses to individuals based on prescriptions.
  • the terms “manufacturer” or “distributor” may refer to any business, individual, or company that sells or distributes contact lenses, excluding optometrists, ophthalmologists or others who have in-person contact with the patient.
  • FIGS. 1 A and 1 B illustrate a front perspective view and a side perspective view, respectively, of a typical prior art secondary contact lens package.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B show a front perspective view and a back perspective view, respectively, of an alternative prior art secondary contact lens package.
  • the traditional secondary contact lens packages (100) provided by manufactures such as those illustrated in FIGS. 1A through 2B fail to notify or otherwise provide the user with prescription information. Consequently, a user may have difficulty identifying which box or strength of lens is intended for a particular eye. This difficulty is exacerbated by the fact that contact lenses are typically packaged according to the power or strength of the lenses. In practice, a user who does not readily recall their prescription will likely receive two boxes of lenses with no information indicating which box contains lenses for the right eye and which contains lenses for the left; leaving the patient to decide for themselves.
  • secondary contact lens packages (100) provided by manufactures often include a strength or power indicator (110). They also may include a brand-name (105) and a bar-code (115). Secondary packages may be constructed from any number of materials including, but in no way limited to, cardboard, plastic, or paper. Furthermore, secondary packages may include, according to various exemplary embodiments, re-closable mating fasteners (120) such as a tab and slot fastening device, Velcro, and/or a resealable adhesive. Typically, secondary packages contain from one to two hundred contact lenses depending on the size of the package and the type of the contact lenses.
  • the present system includes one or more primary contact les packages contained within a secondary package.
  • the secondary package includes prescription information specific to an intended patient.
