The Development & Clinical Research of Smart Contact Lens System for Dry Eye Syndrome Diagnosis
■Technology IntroductionThis project proposes a smart contact lens ideally capable of simultaneously observing the tear evaporation rate, the tear osmolarity, and the ocular surface temperature. To solve the shortcoming of the current difficulty in quantifying DES, assist doctors in the diagnosis of dry eye conditions, the effectiveness and selectivity of drugs, the treatment status and recovery level. ■Scientific Innovation Currently, only TearLab offers a dry eye analysis system in the market. But the system can’t measure continuously; the device developed by this project puts a variety of sensors into the contact lens. Through the record for a long time, it could obtained the relationship between ocular surface signal, and the daily behavior, and achieve the early prevention and early treatment. ■This technology won the Futuretech Breakthrough Award in 2019 Future Tech Expo. ■Institutes National Chiao Tung University ktyeh.ece05g@nctu.edu.tw |
