A research group from Purdue University collaborated with chemical, mechanical and biomedical engineers, together with clinicians, to create the novel technology.
The researchers facilitated commercial soft contact lenses to be used as a bioinstrumentation tool for unobtrusive tracking of clinically significant data linked to underlying ocular health conditions.
