A blister package for a contact lens comprises a hinged shell comprising a shell bottom, a shell top, and a hinge connecting the shell bottom to the shell top. The shell bottom has a bottom inner sidewall that partially defines a bottom chamber and a bottom chamber perimeter surface intersecting with the bottom inner sidewall. The shell top has a top inner sidewall that partially defines a top chamber and a top chamber perimeter surface intersecting with the top inner sidewall. The hinged shell is configured such that the shell bottom and the shell top can be closed together to form a closed shell having a lateral opening. A deformable slider is folded over onto itself at a fold, and substantially enclosed in the closed shell, and comprises a bottom surface and a tongue, the bottom surface sealing the bottom chamber at the bottom chamber perimeter surface, being folded over, and sealing the top chamber at the top chamber perimeter surface, the tongue extending from the lateral opening of the closed shell. The blister package comprises a lens support in the bottom chamber and a contact lens sealed within the top chamber.
