Rigid gas permeable contact lenses, also known as RGP lenses, have made quite a few strides over the past decade and can provide comfort and improved vision to the wearer. However, many people have a negative opinion associated with these lenses. Fortunately, these lenses have changed for the better and are on a comeback.

Contact lenses rest on your cornea atop a constant supply of tears. The contacts are also held in place by pressure exerted from the eyelids. When you blink the pressure from the eyelids cause the contacts to move slightly and glide over your cornea. This allows the tears underneath to gently flush out trash or debris that may have accumulated in your eye.

This is just how the contact stays on the eye and is able to provide a way to correct vision. The way the vision is corrected is a different story altogether.

This article is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge you need when considering laser eye surgery. This procedure can be a bit intimidating for people and hopefully you will feel much more comfortable about it once you have read this. A popular procedure is Lasik eye surgery which is intended to reduce your dependency on either your eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Before moving forward you want to ensure that you are fully informed about the procedure.

Prior to the evaluation with your optometrist, stop wearing your contact lenses and only wear you eyeglasses for a minimum of 2 weeks before your appointment. Contacts actually change the shape of your cornea. By wearing eyeglasses only, your corneas ill go back to their natural shape. After your evaluation, your doctor will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for Lasik eye surgery or any other corrective procedure. They should then explain fully all the risks, benefits and other alternatives to laser vision correction. If you are unsure about anything, it is extremely important that you ask your doctor so that you are making a fully informed decision.

The notion of the contact lens has been around for centuries. In fact, the original idea of the a lens that covers your eye to help better focus light is associated with Leonardo de Vinci. Though their history starts with de Vinci, it would be some time before lenses as we know them were developed. The first actual contact lens, in fact, was a sclera lens that was made of glass and covered the entire eye. However, in the 1940s a lens was developed that simply covered the cornea making insertion and removal significantly easier. By the 1950s soft lenses made their way onto the marketplace and the history of the contact lens began to change at a rapid pace. In the next thirty years, soft lenses would catch on with the American population and rigid gas permeable lenses would be introduced.

All of a sudden the industry began to explode and by the 1980s and 1990s the world was ready for whatever the contact lens companies could manufacture and develop. The introduction of extended wear lenses made up for a large percentage of new lens wearers during the 1980s. Then, in the 1990s disposable lenses were introduced and wearing contact lenses got a lot easier and a lot cheaper. Include the development of colored lenses (which can dramatically change the color of your eyes) as well as lenses for astigmatism, bifocals, toric, and cosmetic lenses that can give your eyes a range of weird and wonderful looks, and you have the amazing history of the contact lens. However, it is not over yet because new technology and new inventions are being introduced regularly.
