Abstract

Both corneal and haptic contact lenses are employed in subnormal vision. Patients with progressive myopia can often be benefitted by contact lenses. They act as new cornea for patients with irregular cornea. A contact lens may be used to design a Galilean telescopic system. The chapter entails the information about the application of contact lens in low vision practice.
