Leonardo da Vinci is frequently credited with introducing the idea of contact lenses in his 1508 Codex of the eye, Manual D,[9] wherein he described a method of directly altering corneal power by either submerging the head in a bowl of water or wearing a water-filled glass hemisphere over the eye. Neither idea was practically implementable in da Vinci's time.[10]: 9 He did not suggest his idea be used for correcting vision; he was more interested in exploring mechanisms of accommodation.[9]

Sir John Herschel, in a footnote to the 1845 edition of the Encyclopedia Metropolitana, posed two ideas for the visual correction: the first "a spherical capsule of glass filled with animal jelly",[12] the second "a mould of the cornea" that could be impressed on "some sort of transparent medium".[13] Though Herschel reportedly never tested these ideas, they were later advanced by independent inventors, including Hungarian physician Joseph Dallos, who perfected a method of making molds from living eyes.[14] This enabled the manufacture of lenses that, for the first time, conformed to the actual shape of the eye.[15]
