Soon contact lenses won’t just correct eyesight; they could save your vision.
By applying electrically conductive, antibiotic nanosilver particles to contact lenses, researchers at the University of California, Davis, can continuously map the pressure inside the eye while administering medication directly and painlessly into it.
The new lenses promise to advance understanding of diseases like glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness worldwide, and could save the eyesight of millions, say the researchers.
