Soft Contact Lenses

The article describes the effect of decorative cosmetics on the material of soft contact lenses and studies specific features that can be observed in SCL wearers who use cosmetics extensively. Examples of complications associated with the use of various cosmetic products that may occur in contact lens wearers are given. Conclusion: in cases when patients have complaints about discomfort and dry eyes, doctors should pay attention to the amount of decorative cosmetics used as well as study the effect it can have on the surface of the contact lenses.

Design And Manufacturing

Design and manufacturing of material for contact lens¬es require a balance of functionality and comfort that cannot achieved in all contact lenses. Tangible Hydra-PEG™ technology helps improve the surface properties of contact lenses of any type, including customized lenses made from any material. Tangible Hydra-PEG™ is a polymer coating; it contains 90% water, which ensures maintenance of the tear film, improve¬ment of wettability and lubricating, as well as resistance to the deposit formation, and therefore can be especially helpful to users of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, which are worried about dry eyes or general discomfort. According to conducted studies, 69% users sur¬veyed preferred lenses coated with Tangible Hydra-PEG™ to conventional lenses due to a higher level of comfort. This technology has been approved by the FDA. Currently, the products of the Optimum range by «Con¬tamac» company are available with innovative Tangible Hydra-PEG™ coating: Optimum Classic (Dk 26), Comfort (Dk 65), Extra (Dk 100) и Extreme (Dk 125).

Millions of people around the world suffer from dry eye symptoms as a result of extended contact lens wear. The objective of this design document is to engineer a solution for chronic dry eyes. The solution must be safe, effective, easy to use, and affordable. The goal of the treatment is to decrease tear film osmolarity by 20 mOsmol/L. Three types of nanotechnologies were considered for this task. The candidate solutions were 1) hydrogel contact lenses infused with lubricant-loaded liposomes, 2) lubricant-loaded microemulsions applied as eye drops, and 3) lubricant-loaded niosomes applied as eye drops. All solutions use polyethylene glycol 400 as the primary active ingredient in the lubricant. The three solutions provide a safe treatment option that allows increased bioavailability of drug and increased retention time, as well as controlled release of drug. A combination of candidates 1 and 3 – namely, hydrogel contact lenses infused with lubricant-loaded niosomes – seems to be the best solution because of excellent drug delivery kinetics and minimal safety concerns. The success of this project would encourage further research in niosome-based and contact lens-based drug delivery. It would also allow this company to expand research and development and further specialize in ocular drug delivery.
