All about contact lenses
A soft contact lens is a hydrophilic (water-loving) disc that floats on your cornea, the central colored portion of your eye. Like prescription glasses, a contact lens is specifically shaped to focus light into the retina of your eye to create a sharp, clear image. But unlike glasses which you can see over, under or sideways, compromising your peripheral vision, contact lenses cover your cornea, correcting your entire field of vision.
