Contact Lenses
Today, I find contact lenses are very useful for me. I really don;t like wearing my glasses. Since I don't like wearing my glasses, contact lenses are the perfect solution. I try and where them everyday, maybe going one or two days a week without wearing them, otherwise all the time. I decided to do contact lenses as my topic because I use them so much and really interested in their history and how they were made.
