compared to healthy controls. A corneal ulcer can cause permanent blindness if it is not treated
quickly. Continuous monitoring of glucose is essential in diabetic patients to take action in restoring
glucose levels to healthy values in real-time. The authors recommended attaching the sensor to a
contact lens or inserting the sensor under the lower eyelid for achieving the continuous glucose
detection. Contact lenses are a changing area of optometry with new lenses being constantly
developed. The biocompatibility of the contact lenses were demonstrated in the tests carried out on
animals. These abrasions will create an opening for bacteria and virus to seep through and give birth
to eye infections, which can result in loss of vision too. He blogs to inform readers about the latest
eye care technology and other topics related to eye care, especially LASIK. Recently, bifocal contact
lenses were developed for continuous glucose detection and presbyopia ( 107 ). Labels can be made
of a variety of materials such as metal, paper, or cloth. An increase in glucose concentrations led to a
shift in the fluorescent color of the contact lens from pink to blue. However, the sensor was
functioning only at high pH values above the physiological pH. Binding the glucose with the
boronate anions occurred through the formation of a bis-bidentate cross-link, a 2:1 PBA-glucose
complex, which led to a shrink in the hydrogel, resulting in a blue shift in the diffracted wavelengths
due to shortening the periodicity constant. In 1508, Leonardo da Vinci produced sketches proposing
optical solutions for vision correction. Contact lens technology: from fundamentals to applications.
