The above article is something I came across today. Brief intro...
Most medication for eyes are dispensed through eye drops. Most individuals (including myself) have difficulties delivering eye drops to the eye. The anticipation of actually putting th drop in the eye and making sure that the drop goes into your eye rather than down your cheek is frustrating. Many times most of the medication fails to reach the eye.
In comes Science! =)
Scientists are now developing a contact lenses that includes the medication needed for certain eye conditions. Individuals with such eye diseases as glaucoma would simply be able to place the lense in their eye and medication is steadily released! Wow!
I'm slightly interested in opthamalogy/optometry so this is great!
Thank you science once again =)
