Technological Contact Lens
Imagine contact lenses that can deliver medicines directly to the eyes, slow progression of nearsightedness in children, or monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Those are some modern advance in contact lens technology. Studies in the special issue report promising results with new approaches to extending depth of vison for patients with aging-related vision and lenses capable of changing change focus, "wearable displays" using contact lenses and lenses with "photonic modulation" for treatment of seasonal affective disorder.
Taking advantage of new material and technologies, these ideas go far beyond the traditional use of contact lenses for vision correction, offering potential new treatments for eye diseases, along with new approaches to monitoring of medical conditions.
