Using these hydrogel-loaded contact lenses could help physicians reduce pain and the number of times the patient has to apply the drug, as the medication is delivered during normal contact lens wear.
University of Waterloo researchers developed 3D-printed hydrogel-loaded contact lenses that deliver medication continuously while worn. The silicone-based hydrogel is durable, flexible and can ...
The aim of this study was to review the published literature on microbial adhesion to contact lenses, focusing on adhesion to silicone hydrogel lenses. Methods: The literature on microbial ...
