Patent ID: 7628269

Claim:
A contact lens case for receiving and storing contact lenses, said contact lens case comprising: a receptacle for receipt of said contact lenses; a main body adapted for removably coupling with said receptacle, said main body including a power source and a timing circuit operatively coupled to said power source; a digital display operatively coupled to said timing circuit for electrically receiving discrete first and second timing signals from the timing circuit and displaying date information corresponding to said first and second timing signals, said digital display including a first digital indicator for displaying lens date information corresponding to said first timing signal and a second digital indicator for displaying receptacle date information corresponding to said second timing signal; a lens reset switch operatively coupled to said timing circuit and associated with said first timing signal; and a receptacle reset switch operatively coupled to said timing circuit and associated with said second timing signal, wherein said timing circuit is operative upon initial actuation of said lens reset switch to generate a lens reset signal setting said first digital indicator to a lens display maximum value, and after discontinued actuation of said lens reset switch to automatically and incrementally decrease the displayed lens date information at an operating rate corresponding to the passage of time to a value below said lens display maximum value, and wherein said timing circuit is operative upon initial actuation of said receptacle reset switch to generate a receptacle reset signal setting said second digital indicator to a receptacle display maximum value which is greater than said lens display maximum value and after discontinued actuation of said receptacle reset switch to automatically and incrementally decrease the displayed receptacle date information value at an operating rate corresponding to the passage of time to a value below said receptacle display maximum value.
