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 research team, which included BYU undergraduate students, held a few studies to determine how contact lenses could and ...

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 ...

Lin received an honorarium from CLAO for presenting the paper at the SiHy symposium (Silicone Hydrogel Lenses - Ten ... for this special issue of Eye & Contact Lens. The authors have no other ...

University of Waterloo researchers have developed a 3D printed hydrogel enabling the delivery of ophthalmic drugs through a ...

Since hydrogel soft contact lenses went into mass production in 1971, lenses with simple color pigments have become pretty accessible. But designing and painting bespoke lenses is still an art form.
