Answer to Question 1

Sutures
Sutures are threads of wire or other materials used to sew body tissues together.

Answer to Question 2

C
It is important to remember that all lenses must be removed periodically to prevent infection and corneal damage, and that proper cleaning is necessary before a lens is reinserted. Two basic types of contact lenses are used today: RGP and soft. Rigid contact lenses are made of firm, durable plastic and are smaller than the cornea. Soft contact lenses are made of a flexible hydrogel plastic and cover the entire cornea and a small rim of the sclera. Although the limit for extended wear lenses is usually 6 nights, certain soft lenses have been approved for continuous wear up to 30 nights.
