Contact Lenses: Chemicals, Methods, and Applications
1st Edition
by Johannes Karl Fink (Author)
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.
