Adolf Eugen Fick (born 3 September, 1829 , in Kassel, Germany ; died 21 August, 1901 , in Blankenberghe, Flandern ) was a German Physiologist usually credited with the invention of Contact Lens es. He earned a 1851 Doctorate at Marburg in medicine. In 1855 he introduced l contact shell made from heavy brown glass, which he tested first on Rabbit s, then on himself, and lastly on a small group of volunteers. His idea was advanced independently by several innovators in the years that followed. Fick managed to double-publish his law of diffusion, as it applied equally to physiology and physics. REFERENCES
