My Contact Lens Articles
Here's my selection of contact lens articles, filled with
information on the types of contact lenses available, how they
were made, who manufactured the lenses, what problems they
solve, and so on.
I learned a lot about contact lenses while researching these
articles. Some of it is quite fascinating.
For example, Leonardo Da Vinci theorized about making them
more than 400 years before the technology to create real
contact lenses actually became available. But it's during the
last 100 years that the development of contact lenses has
really taken off in leaps and bounds.
Soft contact lenses, the ones we take for granted today,
only started being available to the public in the 1970s and
80s. The hard contact lenses used before that time were very
tricky to care for and were uncomfortable to wear for long
periods as well.
Fortunately, modern contacts are a dream by comparison. And
now we have so many different types of lenses to choose from.
That alone creates it's own problems... the difficulty of
choosing the right lenses for your eyes (and your budget).
Leonardo, great visionary as he was, would have been
flabbergasted.
Anyway, I do hope you find some of these contact lens
articles both informative and useful.
