Contact lenses were originally developed for the purpose of vision correction, but they have recently been used for various purposes. Because contact lenses are minimally invasive, they are used in diagnostic and drug delivery applications. In particular, interest in using contact lenses for the purpose of diagnosing diseases by fusing contact lenses with information technology (IT), nanotechnology (NT), and biotechnology (BT) is increasing. These contact lens-based platforms are getting more attention as Google and Novartis develop contact lenses for diabetes diagnosis. Therefore, this chapter introduces materials that can be used for contact lens materials and diagnostic contact lenses, and discusses future prospects.
隐形眼镜最初是为了矫正视力而开发的，但最近它们已经被用于各种用途。由于隐形眼镜的侵入性很小，因此它们被用于诊断和药物输送应用中。特别是，人们对将隐形眼镜与信息技术（IT）、纳米技术（NT）和生物技术（BT）融合起来用于诊断疾病的兴趣日益增加。随着谷歌和诺华公司开发用于糖尿病诊断的隐形眼镜，这些基于隐形眼镜的平台越来越受到关注。因此，本章介绍了可用于隐形眼镜材料和诊断隐形眼镜的材料，并讨论了未来的前景。
