How Do Contact Lenses Work?

/ Focus Vision Care/

Contact lenses are a popular alternative to glasses, but have you ever wondered how they actually work?

Here’s a simple breakdown:

The Science Behind Contact Lenses

Contact lenses sit directly on the surface of your eye (your cornea). Just like glasses, they help focus light correctly onto your retina, so you see clearly.

Depending on your vision needs, lenses are shaped differently to correct:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia) – helps you see far away

  • Farsightedness (hyperopia) – helps you see up close

  • Astigmatism – uses special toric lenses to correct uneven focus

  • Presbyopia – uses multifocal lenses for both near and far vision

Because they move with your eyes, contacts give a more natural field of vision than glasses, and no frames in your way!
