(Three competitors occupy 75% of this market (Bausch + Lomb (51%), American Optical (14%), Continuous Curve (10%); approximately twenty players (including Sof-Optics’ ~3%) occupy the remaining 25%.) This consumer space is already appreciable in size (~5M contact-lens wearers in 1980), and promises exponential growth in future years (only 10% of ~50M prospective lens-wearers in America have even tried soft contact lenses).

It is necessary to have a contact lens fitting in order to wear contacts, whether you’re planning on wearing them one-time or you’re completely transitioning from wearing eye glasses, there is more to it than just getting a prescription and deciding which contacts you want. Just as one shoe size doesn't fit all, one contact lens size doesn't fit all. If the curvature of a contact lens is too steep or too flat for your eye's shape, it could be uncomfortable or even cause damage to your eyes.

“It is amazing to me that, despite the variety of beautiful contacts lenses that have been developed today, people will still come up to me and compliment my eyes, often asking if they are real. One memory that I have kept with me is of an old lady who was partially blind but when ever she’d see me, she’d grab my arms, peer right into my eyes and then a big smile would break out on her face and she’d say, “Blessed child. You have beautiful eyes!” The old lady – unfortunately I never learned her name, she was always Ma’am to me - was the sister of my close friend’s mother and had come to Canada from Lebanon to visit a friend.

Imagine pricking your fingers with a needle five times a day. As a type 1 diabetic, this is a reality for me. My fingertips are callused and scarred. I was frustrated that after years of having diabetes, there wasn’t an easier way to check my blood sugar. I scoured Google Scholar for alternatives and I found a contact lens technology that would be capable of checking sugar levels using only tears. This would eliminate the need to prick my fingers for blood! If an unassuming tear could simplify diabetes care, what else the eye was capable of? My curiosity led me to volunteer as an optometry intern for blind motivational speaker Nancy Solari. Nancy is based in California and I live in Maryland, so I was a remote intern, communicating with Nancy

Eyeglasses were created in Italy by Salvino D’Armate during the late 1200s to help people who couldn’t see very well. The frames were made of metal or bone, and the lenses were made of quartz.
