Authors: Joseph B. Ciolinoa; Claes H. Dohlmana; Daniel S. Kohaneb

Abstract

The majority of ocular medications are delivered to the eye topically, often in the form of a solution, or eye drop. Contact lenses could potentially also be used to deliver medications to the eye.

Different designs have been proposed and several offer the hope of expanding the therapeutic armamentarium for eye care providers.
Keywords: contact lens; drug delivery; hydrogel; polymer
