Scientists develop smart contact lenses to measure blood sugar through tears
Release date: 2015-07-06
Taiwanese media said that scientists are working hard to develop smart smart contact lenses that not only prevent vision deterioration, but also measure blood sugar.
According to Taiwan’s “Central News Agency†on June 30, the British media reported that myopia is because the length of the eye axis is longer than the eye axis of the normal eyeball, and it is more like an egg type than a table tennis. Today's silicone hydrogel contact lens lenses can change the shape of the eye, called Orthokeratology.
The report said that although it is impossible to eliminate myopia, wearing such a lens for use at night when the axis of the eye grows may prevent or slow down myopia.
Current soft contact lenses also grab "sunscreen" business opportunities to protect the eye from the sun.
Research by Aston University in Birmingham found that anti-UV contact lenses have significant health benefits.
According to the report, one of the major findings is that people wearing anti-UV contact lenses have a higher concentration of pigment behind the eyes, which can protect the macula. The macula is an important part of the central vision.
Swiss scientists are developing contact lenses with built-in amplification for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This hard lens can magnify the image by 2.8 times and combine it with smart glasses. Click on the right eye to zoom in and the left eye to return the picture to normal.
The Swiss company Sensimed launched a contact lens called Triggerfish that continuously monitors intraocular pressure.
Anyone who has just passed the eye drops knows that it is impossible to ensure that all the potions remain in the eyes.
Researchers at the University of California estimate that only 5% of glaucoma supplies reach the affected area, so physicians prescribe more doses than they actually need.
To overcome this problem, the researchers developed a contact lens embedded in a tiny diamond-shaped hole that releases glaucoma.
Google and Alcon are now developing a contact lens that measures blood sugar through the glucose in the tears, so that diabetics don't have to endure the pain.

It can be used for surgical operations, patient treatment; epidemic prevention and inspection in public places; disinfection in virus-contaminated areas; and can also be widely used in military, medical, chemical, environmental protection, transportation, epidemic prevention and other field
By setting a protective collar, the neck of the operator can be kept warm and protected. The provision of a hand guard is helpful for the surgical staff to temporarily place their hands in the hand guard while waiting during the operation, which plays a protective role and is more in line with the principles of aseptic operation and occupational protection.
By setting the shrinking cuffs, it is beneficial to make the cuffs fit the wrists, prevent the cuffs from loosening, and prevent the gloves from slipping off during the operation and the operator's hands are exposed to the gloves.
The design of the new humanized protective surgical gown has been improved in the key areas of the gown. The forearm and chest area are double-thickened, and there are handguards in front of the chest and abdomen. By arranging reinforcing sheets (double-layer structure) in key areas, it is beneficial to improve the water-permeability of surgical gowns and improve safety.
