Float glass hardness

In humans, a contact lens lies in the conjunctival sac of the eye. In a closed eye, this sac is a slitlike space between the conjunctiva-covered eyeball and the eyelids. Contact lenses are small polymer bowls that float on tears superficial to the corneal eye layer and correct existing visual deficiencies similarly to glasses. While the idea of the contact lens was formulated as early as 1508, it was not until the 1800s that contact lenses became a reality. Hard plastic contact lenses were invented around 1936, and although soft lenses were invented in 1960, they were not available on the commercial market until 1971. [Pg.83]
