Ok, I admit it: this may be far-fetched because it wasn’t Italians who created contact lenses as we know them today. But if it wasn’t for an Italian, they may have never been invented! And guess who’s the Italian I am talking about? Leonardo! 

Leonardo da Vinci is a name that everyone recognizes. A master in many fields, he was a painter, sculptor, architect, and engineer, and his achievements continue to inspire people all over the world. But did you know that he also played a role in the invention of contact lenses?
