Contact lenses including medicaments and methods of making and using same including stabilizers of labile components such as drugs

This invention describes contact lenses designed to deliver medication directly to the eye. The lenses have a special coating applied using printing technology, like an inkjet printer. This coating contains an emulsion that stores hydrophobic drugs, such as prostaglandins, and helps release them while also keeping them stable.

Why it matters: Given the patent was filed very recently in 2024, the core challenges of precisely printing stable drug-laden emulsions onto biocompatible contact lenses likely remain similar. Significant advancements in this highly specialized field are unlikely to have emerged and matured in just two years.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom lenses, drug formulation, additive printing, emulsion chemistry.
