Introduction

Leonardo da Vinci, instigator of the concept for contact lenses, first proposed the idea of applying a corrective lens directly to the surface of the eye as early as 1508, but it was not until 1887 that a German artificial glass eyes maker, Adolf Eugen Fick, constructed the first successful contact lens. But it was only fifty years later, in 1938, that contact lenses cheap made from plastic were introduced in United States.

Contact lenses, basically are very thin, small optical discs made up of complex patented plastic or synthetic materials, designed to correct eyesight defects such as near-sightedness, far-sightedness, presbyopia or astigmatism.

The hard lens, or rigid gas permeable lenses, are harder, more resilient, and prove to contact lenses cheap as compared to the soft lenses over the long term, but are initially more expensive. The market share split between the various types of contact lenses is at present approximately - 82% people wear soft lenses, 16% gas permeable and 2% hard lenses.

Customers who prefer hard, or rigid gas permeable lenses, are buying a product that will going to last them for a couple of years, except for a alteration in their prescription.
