What Are Contact Lenses?
Contact Lenses (CL) are small, thin, curved transparent discs that
are designed to rest on the cornea, the clear front surface of the
eye. Contacts cling to the film of tears over the cornea because of
surface tension, the same force that causes a drop of water to cling
to the side of a glass. Contact lenses are mostly used to correct
near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism. Contacts provide
a safe and effective way to correct vision when used with care and
proper supervision. They can offer a good alternative to eyeglasses,
depending on your eyes and your lifestyle. However, one must
remember, they are health devices, not commodities or beauty aids,
and not everyone can wear them. Also, their use can affect the well
being of your eyes and only an optometrist or an ophthalmologist
(eye surgeon) is qualified to assess the health of your eye. Your
healthy vision is the first priority. |
