contact lenses
Invisible vision correction
Contact lenses are thin corrective lenses worn directly on the surface of the eye.
They serve the same function as eyeglasses but sit against the cornea rather than in front of the face: She switched from glasses to contact lenses.
Most are disposable, replaced daily or monthly.
Often shortened to contacts: I need to take my contacts out.
