contact lenses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they help you' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'clean contests for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' is an anagram indicator.
'clean'+'contests'='cleancontests'
'cleancontests' anagrammed gives 'CONTACT LENSES'.

'see' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for contact lenses that I've seen before include "Visual aid" , "Alternative to glasses" , "Alternative to spectacles" , "one wouldn't want them to fall out!" , "Aids to vision" .)
