What are contact lenses?

A contact lens is a lens placed on the eye. Contact lenses are medical devices and can be worn to correct vision, but are also used for cosmetic or therapeutic purposes too. It is a personal, lifestyle choice to wear contact lenses. Motivating factors are aesthetics and cosmetics for people who would like to avoid wearing glasses, or want to change the appearance of their eyes.

In comparison to spectacles, contact lenses generally provide better peripheral vision. They will not attract moisture such as condensation, sweat, rain or snow. Therefore, contact lenses are ideal for sports and those who enjoy outdoor activities and pursuits. Additionally, there are conditions such as keratoconus and aniseikonia that can be corrected better by contact lenses than by glasses. In these modern times, wearing contact lenses is more than just a fashion statement.
