It is made from soft, water-containing plastics that drape over the cornea (the clear \u201cwindow\u201d at the front of the eye). It is commonly used for everyday vision correction in myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. In some situations, it is also used as a therapeutic \u201cbandage\u201d to support healing and comfort."}
