Abstract

Contact lenses were originally developed for the purpose of vision correction, but they have recently been used for various purposes. Because contact lenses are minimally invasive, they are used in diagnostic and drug delivery applications. In particular, interest in using contact lenses for the purpose of diagnosing diseases by fusing contact lenses with information technology (IT), nanotechnology (NT), and biotechnology (BT) is increasing. These contact lens-based platforms are getting more attention as Google and Novartis develop contact lenses for diabetes diagnosis. Therefore, this chapter introduces materials that can be used for contact lens materials and diagnostic contact lenses, and discusses future prospects.
