Abstract

The limitation of contact lenses to be used as therapeutic device for controlled drug delivery is focused in this study. Incorporation of drug or formulation in the biomaterial affects the optical and physical property of contact lenses. The significance of project was to design a novel hyaluronic acid-laden ring implant contact lenses, to by-pass the changes in critical property of biomaterial.
