Contact lens

Description

Contact lenses are thin, curved, and transparent discs placed directly onto the eye’s cornea to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They work by refracting light before it reaches the retina, enabling clear vision without the need for traditional eyeglasses. Contact lenses come in various types, including soft lenses made from flexible materials for comfort, rigid gas-permeable lenses for sharper vision, and specialized options like colored or toric lenses. They offer greater freedom of movement compared to glasses and can be a convenient choice for those engaging in sports or seeking a change in appearance without undergoing surgery. However, proper hygiene and regular eye care are essential to avoid complications and maintain eye health while using contact lenses.
