The Origin of Contact LensesWritten by Tim Gorman
There is much debate about who invented concept of contact lenses but this is what we do know. Back in 1508 Leonardo da Vinci made sketches of a rough version of what a lens for eye would look like. Then in 1632 Rene Descartes came up with idea of a contact lens for cornea. In 1801, building upon Descartes' earlier idea, a man named Thomas Young came up with a way to repair his own flawed vision using a glass tube filled with water and fashioned with a microscopic lens on other end. Contact lenses were already beginning to take shape. During years 1887 and 1888 more progress was made with contact lenses. The first contact lenses to be made completely out of glass were invented by three men by names of A. Eugen Fick, Edouard Kalt and August Muller. Although these lenses were a step in right direction of progress, they tended to be anything but comfortable and corrected only a small amount of vision problems.
