The first contact lenses were made from glass and could only be worn for short periods before becoming uncomfortable and even damaging to the eyes. Since the first plastic contact lenses were invented in 1939, technology has moved ahead in leaps and bounds, from the introduction of disposable and silicon-hydrogel lenses to fashion and fun coloured lenses.
