Abstract A combined decorative and contact lens storage locket is disclosed. The contact lens locket has at least one compartment in which is mounted a sub-housing made of inert material for storing the contact lenses in their normal storage solution. The door to the compartment may also comprise a mirror. In an alternate embodiment, the contact lens locket is comprised of two compartments with the door for each compartment having a cavity. In the cavity of one door the sub-housing for storing the contact lenses is mounted. In the cavity of the other door a holder for receiving a vial of wetting solution for use with the contact lenses is provided. The two doors to the locket, when open, provide a stand for holding the locket in an upright position. The inside of the locket contains a mirror in one or both of the compartments. Alternately, one of the mirrors or both may be magnifying in nature.
