Study Suggests That Lenses Laced With Pain Meds Could One Day Replace Regular Eye Drops
Researchers are developing contact lenses that rely on nanotechnology that are designed for slow delivery of painkilling/anesthetic drugs directly to the cornea after laser eye surgery, eliminating the need for frequent post-LASIK and PRK numbing eye drops. “This would represent a version of time-release which would reduce the number of drops that a patient would need,” says…
