contact lens
Invisible vision aid
A contact lens is a thin corrective lens worn directly on the surface of the eye.
Contacts correct vision like eyeglasses but sit against the cornea rather than in front of the face.
They may be hard or soft, daily disposables or extended wear.
I can't find my contact lens.
Usually plural: She wears contacts.
