Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, the use of different materials and device production for sharp vision has accelerated. One of the areas that benefit from developing technology is contact lens technology. In this study, the production-development stages of contact lenses, contact lens types, and materials used in production were investigated. The pros and cons of using lenses compared to glasses are stated. In addition, the advantages and disadvantages of the production types of contact lenses compared to each other were examined. In the last stage, studies and expectations for the future of contact lenses are discussed.

Kontakt Lens Tarihçesi, Kontakt Lens Çeşitleri ve Kontakt Lensin Geleceği

Abstract

Teknolojinin hızlı gelişimi ile keskin görüş için farklı malzemelerin kullanımı ve cihaz üretimi hızlanmıştır. Gelişen teknolojinin faydalanan alanlardan biri de kontak lens teknolojisidir. Bu çalışmada, kontak lenslerin üretim-geliştirme aşamaları, kontak lens çeşitleri, üretimde kullanılan malzemeler araştırılmıştır. Lens kullanımının gözlüklere kıyasla artıları ve eksileri belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca, kontak lenslerin üretim türlerinin birbirlerine göre avantaj ve dezavantajları incelenmiştir. Son aşamada, kontak lenslerin geleceğine yönelik çalışmalar ve beklentiler tartışılmıştır.
