A team from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) has created a groundbreaking contact lens prototype aimed at combating contact lens-induced dry eye (CLIDE). This innovative lens design helps to alleviate CLIDE by promoting tear flow through normal eye blinking. This development h
as the potential to ease the discomfort, vision problems, and inflammation risks faced by millions of contact lens wearers who suffer from CLIDE.
-coated lenses designed to minimize moisture loss and self-moisturizing lenses stimulated with metallic electrodes. But these methods are costly and impractical and may compromise patient safety and comfort. Innovative techniques were also utilized when encapsulating the microchannels in a sandwich-like assembly under a capping lens layer. Initially, the preparation of the two lens surfaces for stronger bonding dehydrated the lenses, causing them to curl. This problem was solved by affixing the two lenses to holders using water-soluble glue. This served not only to enable a more uniform bonding of the lenses but protected them from damage as well.
