Hard contact lens
Hard-type contact lens placed on the end of the forefinger ready for positioning on the eye: the liquid on the lens is a wetting agent (for cleansing & lubrication)

"Enhancing Vision with Contact Lenses: A Window to Clearer Sight" Contact lenses have revolutionized the way we see the world, offering a convenient and effective alternative to traditional eyeglasses. 🌍✨ Illustrated here are two types of contact lenses: hard and soft. The hard contact lens, depicted in one image, is made from rigid materials that provide excellent vision correction. On the other hand, the soft contact lens, shown in another illustration, offers enhanced comfort due to its flexible nature. In a fascinating cross-section biomedical illustration, we can observe how a soft contact lens rests gently on the eye's surface. This innovative design allows for optimal oxygen flow while correcting refractive errors. Another intriguing depiction showcases laser iridotomy—a procedure where a laser beam precisely cuts through the iris using a thick contact lens as a guide. This technique helps treat certain eye conditions by creating tiny holes in the iris. Did you know that back in the 1930s, early versions of contact lenses were crafted from glass? It's incredible how far technology has come since then. Examining their surfaces under an electron microscope (SEM), we gain insight into their intricate structures and textures—proof of meticulous engineering behind these small wonders. Understanding both eye anatomy and proper placement is crucial when it comes to wearing contacts safely. Artwork C016/6572 beautifully illustrates this relationship between our eyes and these remarkable corrective devices. Zooming in closer still reveals an awe-inspiring close-up shot of an eye adorned with a hard contact lens—an intimate glimpse into how they seamlessly merge with our natural features. Lastly, let us not forget about handling these delicate marvels. A simple yet striking image captures a single contact lens delicately perched upon someone's fingertip—a reminder of just how intimately connected they become with our daily lives. Whether you choose hard or soft lenses or require them for medical reasons or cosmetic purposes—they all share a common goal.
