Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
placing a contact lens into a well of a blister package, on top of a lens support of a deformable slider, the blister package comprising a body having a handle, a well connected to the handle, and a body top surface, the well having a perimeter, an inner sidewall defining a bottom surface, a distal side, and a proximal side opposite the distal side, the proximal side being adjacent to the handle; and
sealing a flexible top to the body top surface to seal the well with the contact lens therein on top of the lens support, the sealing comprising sealing the flexible top such that the flexible top contacts the body top surface around the perimeter of the well and closes the well, the flexible top having a peel tab contacting the body on the proximal side of the well, the flexible top being peelable away from the body by the peel tab to open the well,
wherein the lens support is disposed in the well and adjacent the bottom surface, and the deformable slider is configured such that, by pulling the deformable slider, the lens support is lifted away from the bottom surface and the deformable slider has an end that is connected to either the body top surface or the well at the proximal side of the well, adjacent to the handle.
