Contact lens News

Purchase a good quality lens solution, checking the seal and expiry date before use. If you experience eye irritation, do not wash your eyes with water. Instead, use prescribed eye drops. If irritation persists, remove the lenses and consult your ophthalmologist. Additionally, avoid wearing contact lenses during eye infections and discard any lenses that might be contaminated.

We are going to tell you about such unique success of science and technology in which a smart contact lens fitted in the eyes will be able to monitor many of your diseases.

The researchers used the sensor, called OjoGel, to measure ascorbic acid levels in artificial tears and in clinical samples of fluid from patients' eyes.

Since blood sugar can be measured with tears, many attempts have been made to monitor diabetes with contact lenses. However, their biggest drawback has been poor wearability.

Researchers have developed a new technology that could allow non-invasive testing of glucose levels, via a contact lens that samples glucose levels in tears.

Drug-dispensing contact lens which has been designed to deliver medication gradually to the eye may benefit glaucoma patients.

In order to change focus, the contact lens will also need to be equipped with an extremely small, thin power source.

 A contact lens with a built-in sensor could help doctors determine which glaucoma patients have a higher risk of disease progression, says a new study.
