  Leonardo da Vinci first thought of contact lenses for correcting eyesight but like many of his ideas the technology was not available and his idea progressed no further for a few centuries. The 'modern' contact lens made in plastic dates from 1938 and were first made in the US. They were scleral lenses meaning that they covered the whole eye. This pair of scleral lenses were supplied by a London Optician and are 0.94" (24 mm) in diameter
