Smart Contact Lens Holds Promise for Personalized Glaucoma Treatment

Recently, a team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), led by Professor Sei Kwang Hahn and Dr. Tae Yeon Kim, developed a new device that may help monitor eye pressure at home. The new smart contact lens has a sensor that detects changes in eye pressure and instantly delivers a pressure-lowering drug to the cornea.  

The POSTECH group has shown that these smart contacts are successful in rabbits and are hopeful that with further testing could lead to a personalized treatment for glaucoma.
