Your WTF for the day – How contacts were made in the 50s

Contact Lenses (1948)

Unissued / unused footage – dates and locations may be unclear / unknown. Australian newsreel titles read: ‘The Eyes Have It. NEW LOOK IN GLASSES’. Sydney, Australia. C/U of woman’s eyes wearing massive contact lenses – looks quite uncomfortable. Several shots show the complete process of making the contact lenses.
