Skip to contentWhat I’ve Got: Contact LensesI wear Acuvue soft contact lenses, and have found them really comfortable and easy to wear. Contact lenses were originally invented by Leornado Da Vinci in the 1500s, though they were only fabricated in the 1800s. In the early 1900s, hard contact lenses, which were uncomfortable to wear and blocked oxygen from reaching the eye, were used. In 1960, synthetic hydrogels were fabricated, leading to the creation of the modern soft contact lens. My lenses are made out of a silicone hydrogel, making them comfortable and breathable.
