Many believe that the lens is a relatively new invention and was conceived in this century through technology and innovation. While contacts have been developed by now not so long ago that the foundation and inspiration began many centuries ago.
That probably comes as quite a shock to many, but the idea of contact lenses began with Leonardo da Vinci. In the 16th Century, Leonardo da Vinci sketches a variety of ways and include descriptionsof them. Then, after over 100 years ago, Rene Descartes developed the idea of a corneal lens to correct visual problems. Thomas Young used Descartes idea 170 years later, developed and tested, what the first lens. However, it was in 1887 that a German glassblower a contact lens, which was designed to be worn and would develop acceptable to the eye. Then the world began the quest to develop and improve the design.
In the 1900s, a US-AmericanOpticians produced the first lens in this country and led to contact lenses made of plastic. That was a big step, and was a step away from glass contacts. The contact industry and technology continue to expand and grow, and in the 1960s, Otto Wichterle and Lim Drahoslav created a soft contact lens with a water-absorbing plastic. This development is what it most, the majority of soft contacts inspired today. The 1970s found this lens to patients in the United Statesand the toric contact lens for patients with astigmatism.
The 1980s continued to see improvements and new options to bear in touch. Soft colored contact lenses and full-day was for the general public. It was also RGP lenses are available in these styles. Bifocal lenses their way onto the market. And fortunately for all carrier lens, was the first multipurpose lens care solution available. The 1990scontinue to show an improvement at all innovations from the 80s and other options were available for contact lens wearers.
As you can see, there was no one inventor of the contact lens, but the cooperation over many centuries and many people develop new ideas and implementing them.
