Abstract
Abstract An eyeglass case is disclosed wherein the eyeglass lenses may be cleaned without need for the fingers to touch the lenses. The eyeglass case construction permits the user to insert his fingers to clean the lenses without the fingers in direct contact with the lenses. The case construction is of low cost, disposable material so that after exhaustion of the cleansing surfaces, the case may be disposed and a fresh case utilized. In one embodiment the case surface itself provides a lens cleansing surface.
