CONTACT LENSES The book focuses on the chemistry and properties of
contact lenses and their fabrication methods. With research &
development continuing in the field, this comprehensive book takes
a look at the last 10 years in terms of new materials, chemistry
methods, applications, and fabrication techniques. New applications
include drug delivery, lenses for augmented reality, electronic
contact lenses, and wearable smart contact lenses. In addition, the
book discusses simulation methods for contact lenses, such as
ocular topography parameters, gas permeable lenses, and
computerized videokeratography. On the fabrication front, several
common fabrication methods for contact lenses are detailed,
including the computer-aided contact lens design, methods for the
fabrication of colored contact lenses, and the fabrication of
decentered contact lenses. Special processes are reviewed,
including, mold processes, reactive ion etching, electrospinning,
and others. Also discussed are the properties of contact lenses and
methods for the measurement. Many of the standard methods are
discussed, but other issues are taken up too including a discussion
on the assessment of cytotoxic effects, the Schirmer tear test, and
others. The book concludes with a chapter detailing the possible
medical problems related to contact lenses and how to avoid them.
These include eye diseases, allergic and toxic reactions, as well
as methods for medical treatment such as disinfection agents.
Audience The book will be used by chemists, polymer scientists,
ophthalmologists, engineers in the contact lens industry as well as
polymer industries.
