Ever wonder how contact lenses can be worn on something as sensitive and vital as our eyes?

The contact lens practitioners and research scientists who make it all possible are descending on Sydney next month to discuss the next big thing in lens designs, share their latest research findings and advise practitioners on how patients can have the most suitable, comfortable and healthy fits.
