Clear or slightly colored plastic lenses worn directly on the eyeball to correct vision problems, held in place over the cornea by a thin layer of tears. The concept of corrective lenses that sit directly on the eyeball was developed in the ninth century, but it was not until the late 20th century that manufacturing and grinding techniques for contact lenses were perfected.
