An apparatus provides for the sterilizing of bacterial and virus contracted ophthalmological devices having a portion thereof intended to contact the eye by the use of ultraviolet light. The apparatus features an enclosed light-tight housing into which are at least partially disposed ophthalmological insert sleeves. An ultraviolet light source is positioned within the housing for providing the sterilizing ultraviolet light. Each sleeve is adapted to receive removably and snugly a particular ophthalmological device to be sterilized, with a relatively tight interfit therebetween. Each sleeve is further removably and snugly received in a respective insertion aperture of the housing with a relatively tight interfit therebetween, so that the portion of the device intended to contact the eye is held by a respective sleeve in relatively close proximity to the light source. Particular specialized insertion sleeves are provided for pneumoprobes, tonometer probes and contact lenses.
