History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 339115-02 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of contact lenses dates back to the 16th century when Leonardo da Vinci first sketched the idea of a contact lens. However, it wasn't until the late 19th century that the first contact lens was created by German glassblower F.E. Muller. The first plastic contact lenses were introduced in the 1930s, and in the 1950s, the first corneal contact lenses were developed. In the 1970s, soft contact lenses were introduced, which were more comfortable to wear and allowed for longer periods of use. In recent years, advancements in technology have led to the development of contact lenses that can monitor glucose levels in diabetic patients and lenses that can change color to protect the eyes from harmful UV rays. In the United States, the first contact lenses were introduced in the early 1900s, but they were uncomfortable and difficult to wear. It wasn't until the 1970s that soft contact lenses were introduced, which revolutionized the industry. In the 1990s, disposable contact lenses were introduced, which made it easier and more convenient for people to wear contact lenses. In recent years, advancements in technology have led to the development of contact lenses that can correct presbyopia and lenses that can be worn overnight for up to 30 days.
