Why do contacts stay in place?

Unlike eyeglasses, contact lenses sit directly on the cornea of the eye. They stick to the layer of tear fluid that coats the surface of the eye. Pressure from the eyelid also helps to keep them in place. Contact lenses move with the eye, so they provide an experience closer to natural sight than eyeglasses do.
