Abstract:
As a novel wearable device that combines traditional contact lenses with advanced electronic technology,smart contact lenses represent a breakthrough in medical science and innovative technology.They not only possess the vi-sion-correction function of ordinary contact lenses but also incorporate micro-sensors,wireless communication modules,power sources,and other electronic components.These features enable real-time monitoring of eye movement,tear com-position,intraocular pressure,and interaction with external devices.The applications of smart contact lenses are exten-sive,ranging from monitoring blood glucose levels to treating ocular diseases and achieving vision correction and enhance-ment,demonstrating great potential for medical applications.However,there are also challenges in the practical applica-tion of smart contact lenses,including biocompatibility and safety,miniaturization and integration,power supply and bat-tery life,and data security and privacy protection.Through continuous technological innovation and optimization,smart contact lenses are expected to achieve broader applications in the future and bring revolutionary changes to medical re-search and clinical practice.
