🔬Living Contact Lens Combats Dry Eye
Researchers have engineered a ground-breaking solution to tackle dry eye associated with contact lens wear. Introducing self-lubricating lenses embedded with a community of lubricant-producing bacteria. These bacterial biofactories, featuring Corynebacterium glutamicum, FDA-recognised as safe, continuously produce hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant offering long-lasting relief. Sat goodbye to discomfort and hello to seamless wear!
👀 Smart Contact Lenses for Blood Glucose Monitoring
Yonsei University researchers have revolutionised diabetes management with smart contact lenses. These lenses analyse tear components, monitoring blood glucose levels in real time without invasive methods. With high-sensitivity glucose sensors and wireless antennas, they transmit data to mobile devices for instant tracking. Comfortable and vision friendly, they offer a hassle-free alternative for diabetes patients.
🌡️Breakthrough in Eye Pressure Measurement
A new “smart” contact lens prototype has emerged, promising accurate eye pressure measurement across all temperatures. While previous methods struggled with temperature fluctuations, this innovation ensures precise readings regardless of environmental conditions. Developed by researcher Dengbao Xiao and team, this lens signals a major advancement in eye health monitoring technology.
