What Are Contact Lenses?

Contact lenses are thin, curved lenses placed directly on the surface of the eye (cornea). They correct vision problems such as myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia. Unlike glasses, contact lenses move with your eyes and provide a natural field of vision.
