A contact lens (also known simply as a "contact") is a corrective, cosmetic, or therapeutic lens usually placed on the cornea of the eye.
Contact lenses usually serve the same corrective purpose as conventional glasses, but are lightweight and virtually invisible — many commercial lenses are tinted a faint blue to make them more visible when immersed in cleaning and storage solutions. Cosmetic lenses are deliberately coloured for altering the appearance of the eye.
It has been estimated that about 125 million people use contact lenses worldwide (2%)Barr, J. "2004 Annual Report". Contact Lens Spectrum. January, 2005., including 28 to 38 million in the United StatesDixie Farley. "Keeping an Eye on Contact Lenses: Safety, Options Shape Contact Lens Decisions."

March, 2001.. The types of lenses used and prescribed vary markedly between countries, with rigid lenses accounting for over 20% of currently-prescribed lenses in Japan, Netherlands and Germany but less than 5% in Scandinavia.
