PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container for preserving hard or soft contact lenses which allows a lens bearing part attached to its body to be stood by opening of its lid, and which has a mechanism for moving the lid slightly horizontally to open the lid, with the lid and the body freely attachable to and removable from each other. SOLUTION: This container comprises a body 1 and a freely attachable and removable lid 2. A lens bearing part 4 made of an elastic body which is folded into a preservation liquid tank 6 in the body 1 is stood by the restoring force of the elastic body when the lid 2 is opened, to lift a lens body 5 borne on a tray 4b. Since a lens is lifted simply by opening the lid 2, the container is easy to operate and reduces the danger of losing or damaging the lens. The container is sanitary since it does not require fingers to be dipped in the preservation liquid. It is usable with both hard and soft contact lenses.
