subject: A Synopsis of Contact Lenses [print this page] Finally, the last two decades have given rise to developments in the optical industry that have resulted in better vision for people who wear corrective contact lenses. In the past, some people who used contacts found that they did not provide vision that was as sharp as that provided by eyeglasses. However, the opposite is now often true. More sophisticated lens designs allow contacts to provide incredibly clear and stable vision for people with astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia and other problems. With so many benefits offered by recent advancements in the design and manufacturing of contact lenses, it's clear that there are now more choices available than ever. In turn, this has allowed far more people to take advantage of corrective contact lenses.
