One sunny day, Emma stepped into Dr. Novak's renowned ophthalmology clinic. Tired of her glasses, she hoped for a solution. Dr. Novak, after examining her eyes, said, “Emma, have you ever considered contact lenses?" "Contact lenses? Tell me more," she responded with intrigue. With a glint of pride, Dr. Novak began, “The world of contact lenses has a unique Czech connection. A Czech chemist, Otto Wichterle, pioneered the creation of the first soft contact lenses in the 1960s. They revolutionized eye care.” He continued, “These lenses sit directly on the eye, offering a natural field of vision without the hindrance of frames. They correct vision by refocusing light onto the retina.” Emma, impressed, remarked, "So, clear vision without glasses? And with a Czech touch?" "Exactly!” Dr. Novak smiled. "Modern lenses are comfortable and safe, especially if you maintain them well. Would you like to try?” Feeling a mix of pride and excitement, Emma eagerly nodded. Dr. Novak's proposal was more than just a vision correction; it was a bridge to her country’s innovative past.
