People may use lenses to change the color as well as the appearance of the eye. In terms of function, contact lenses are becoming highly durable and provide state-of-the-art scratch resistance and comfort.

According to the National Eye Association of the U.S., at least 11 mn of American consumers were suffering from eye related problems including hyperopia and astigmatism.
