Biomaterials may be defined as artificial materials that can mimic, store, or come into close
contact with living biological cells or fluids and are becoming increasingly popular in the …

Understanding the molecular composition (eg, proteins and lipids) of the tear film (TF) and
the contribution of the meibomian gland to the TF is critical in gaining knowledge about TF …

Contact lens-related complications are common, affecting around one third of wearers,
although most are mild and easily managed. Contact lenses have well-defined anatomical …

Tears have antimicrobial, nourishing, mechanical, and optical properties. They contain
components such as growth factors, fibronectin, and vitamins to support proliferation …

Examining the role of the contact lens material, design, and the care system is fundamental
to understanding contact lens discomfort (CLD). However, a systematic review that tries to …

For 30 years, contact lens research focused on the need for highly oxygen-permeable (Dk)
soft lens materials. High Dk silicone hydrogel contact lenses, made available in 1999, met …

Contact lenses are one of the most successful applications of biomaterials. The chemical
structure of the polymers used in contact lenses plays an important role in determining the …

Proteins are a key component in body fluids and adhere to most biomaterials within seconds
of their exposure. The tear film consists of more than 400 different proteins, ranging in size …

Hydrogel has been an attractive biomaterial for tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound
healing, and contact lens materials, due to its outstanding properties, including high water …

Ocular drug delivery has always been a challenging feat to achieve in the field of medical
sciences. One of the existing methods of non-invasive ocular drug delivery is the use of eye …
