Abstract
Smart contact lenses represent a breakthrough in the intersection of medical science and innovative technology, offering transformative potential in ophthalmology. This review article delves into the technological underpinnings of smart contact lenses, emphasizing the current landscape and advancements in biosensors, power supply, biomaterials, and the transmission of ocular information. This review further applies new innovations to their emerging role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of various ocular conditions. Moreover, we explore the impact of technical innovations on the application of smart contact lenses in monitoring glaucoma, managing postoperative care, and dry eye syndrome, further elucidating the non-invasive nature of these devices in continuous ocular health monitoring. The therapeutic potential of smart contact lenses such as treatment through targeted drug delivery and the monitoring of inflammatory biomarkers is also highlighted. Despite promising advancements, the implementation of smart contact lenses faces technical, regulatory, and patient compliance challenges. This review synthesizes the recent advances to provide an outlook on the state of smart contact lens technology. Furthermore, we discuss future directions, focusing on potential technological enhancements and new applications within ophthalmology.
