There are so many lifestyle benefits to wearing contact lenses. Here’s just five of them:
1. Avoid steamy specs: Wearing contact lenses means you don’t have to worry about your glasses getting steamed up or tangled when wearing a face mask
2. Sport lifestyle? Contact lenses are great for sports and other physical activities as you don’t have to worry about them falling off
3. No more blurred vision when it rains! You don’t have to clean your contacts when it’s raining outside as the lenses won’t become splattered
4. Carry less when out and about: You can wear them with sunglasses and don’t have to switch from one to the other when going outdoors and indoors
5. Perfect for fashionistas: You don’t have to worry about them clashing with other accessories or make-up looks
Want to learn more about this clever innovation that has transformed many people’s lives? Here are five ‘did you know?’ facts:
1. The idea for contact lenses came about in the 1500s: The idea of a contact lens as a visual aid first started in 1508 and was the intellectual property of the famous inventor, Leonardo Da Vinci. He described a method of directly altering the corneal power of sight by either submerging your head in a bowl of water, or by wearing some form of water-filled glass hemisphere over the eye
2. The first contact lens was made of glass: In 1888, German ophthalmologist Adolf Fick – working from another’s findings – constructed and fitted the first contact lens from blown glass
3. The nation’s interest in contact lens has soared this year: There has been an 83% spike in people searching for information about contact lenses on Specsavers website (period, May to August, 2020), undoubtably driven by individuals seeking an alternative to avoid steamy glasses caused by wearing a mask
4. As well as correcting vision, they can dramatically change appearances: Coloured lenses are widely used in the Film and TV industry with some of the most notable uses being the blood-red eyes of Rage Virus victims in 28 Days/Weeks Later. Contact lenses were also used widely across the Star Wars saga and Avatar
5. What’s the future? One possible future use of contact lenses is that of bionic contact lenses – a concept not unlike that of Google Glasses. This specialized type of contact lens is currently under development, being trailed as a prototype in Seattle, America.
