	US FDA/CDRH: Contact Lenses - Buying Contact Lenses
		Contact lens sales are regulated by both the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
		Before you buy any contact lenses from someone other than your eye care professional, the FDA wants you to be a wise consumer.
		Contact lenses are often more complex than they appear.

	Contact lenses
		Contact lenses are small plastic discs shaped to correct an eyesight problem such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
		Contacts are placed directly on the eye, where they float on a film of tears in front of the cornea.
		Contact lenses may be used by people who have had surgery for cataracts if the natural lens of the eye was removed.

	Contact Lenses
		The role of soft lenses in keratoconus is limited because the soft lens drapes over the irregular corneal surface and the front surface of the lens assumes the same irregular surface as the cornea without trapping a fluid reservoir so the effective refracting surface is no improvement over the original corneal surface.
		After patients have been successfully fit with contact lenses, a high percentage of complications and adverse reactions are related to skipping or shortcutting the recommended procedure for cleaning, disinfecting, and storing their lenses.
		The fit of rigid gas permeable contact lenses is finalized by staining the tears with sodium fluorescein dye (the orange stuff the doctor or contact lens technician puts in your eye, which later comes out your nose).

		Contact lenses are miraculous pieces of plastic that allow you to see without glasses.
		Contact lenses may also be used to treat certain eye diseases or cosmetically to change the apparent color of the eyes.

	Soft Contact Lenses
		This use of soft lenses is much less common since the advent of the intraocular lens implant, an artificial lens that replaces the cloudy natural lens removed during cataract surgery.
		Use of any kind of contact lens is accompanied by the slight risk of ocular complications, including the following: Eye infection, allergic reactions to lens care solutions and contaminants on or in the lens, inflammation of the eye, abrasions, change in the shape of the cornea, and blood vessels growing into the normally clear cornea.
		The cost of contact lenses is generally broken down into professional fees, which should include aftercare, and then into the cost of lens materials.

	Contact Lenses
		Contact lenses are small, thin plastic disks that are designed to rest on the cornea - the clear front surface of the eye.

	Contact lenses: What to know before you buy - MayoClinic.com
		Contact lenses can correct your vision, but without proper care, they may irritate your eyes —; or worse.
		Contact lenses are made of many different types of plastic, but in general, they fall into two main groups: soft contact lenses and gas-permeable contact lenses.
		Gas-permeable lenses need to be replaced less frequently than do soft contact lenses and may be worn, on average, for two to three years.

	Contact Lenses
		When to begin contact lens wear can only be determined in conjunction with your eye care practitioner (and your parents will probably have something to say about it too).
		Soft lenses conform to the shape of the eye, are larger in diameter and are tucked under the eyelids, so they usually don't move out of place or fall out.
		The price of contact lenses is comparable to that of an average pair of eyeglasses, often less than many of today's "designer" frames alone -- and that is without the lenses for the frames.

		Unlike older versions of hard lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses are made with silicone polymers, allowing oxygen to circulate to the cornea of the eye.

	CHAS May/Jun CONTACT LENSES AND CHEMICALS
		In one response I received from a large prestigious university, it was noted that contact lenses were banned and that the students didn't argue after being told that "contact lenses could fuse to their eyes." Rumors have a tendency to be cited later as facts.
		One in-depth study of contact lenses (18) stated that the trend in establishing contact lens policy is making a "180"; that is, policies are going from stating contact lenses should not be worn in hazardous working environments to stating that they should be worn in such environments.
		This change is based on the fact that contact lenses, on the whole, do not increase risks, but rather minimize or prevent injury in a preponderance of eye hazardous situations when compared with those situations in which they might increase or exacerbate injury.

	Toric Contact Lenses: Soft toric contacts can correct astigmatism - AllAboutVision.com
		Toric contact lenses are made from the same materials as regular ("spherical") contact lenses, so they can be either soft or RGP.
		Because rigid lenses retain their shape on the cornea better than soft lenses, they tend to provide crisper vision to people who have astigmatism.
		Visit an eye care practitioner who is comfortable fitting toric contact lenses to determine if they make sense for your eyecare needs and to identify the best lens design for you.
