Optical transmittance test and in vitro cytotoxicity test of the smart contact lens

Smart contact lenses "could soon become" mainstream for a long time now. I don't think there is actually anything exciting about this paper. Their contact lens is a prototype design, from an engineering approach, that has not progressed to testing in animal (rabbit) models yet. I suppose thin electrical components would indeed be very important for a device that would sit against a very sensitive ocular surface, but let's say that this design is still in a very early phase at this point.

My rating of this study: ⭐
