Technology Enables Soft Contact Lenses To Monitor Glucose And Medical Conditions

http://www.purdue.edu/ researchers have developed soft contact lenses that not only correct vision but also can monitor glucose and medical conditions and be used for ocular pain relief or drug delivery.

Sensors or other technology previously couldn’t be used for soft contact lenses because the technology required a rigid, planar surface incompatible with the soft, curved shape of a contact lens.

The Purdue University team, led by Chi Hwan Lee, an assistant professor of https://engineering.purdue.edu/BME and https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME, created a novel method for attaching sensors and other small devices to soft contact lenses…”
