Contact Lens Update

• Issue 02 | August 2011

  Lens care

  Though widely popular, multipurpose contact lens care systems on the market today may not be as effective as we would like, particularly when it comes to cleaning and disinfecting lens cases. In this edition of Contact Lens Update, Mark Willcox explores the efficacy of dual-disinfectant care systems, Doerte Luensmann reviews a paper (Zhao 2010) investigating whether there is a  link between adverse events and lens deposits, Gareth Ross clarifies the role of surfactants and other components of lens care systems and Daniel Tilia tells us what can happen when the quest for convenience clashes with lens of choice and recommended lens replacement frequency.

  Celebrating 50 years of contact lenses

Our inaugural upload features articles highlighting the past, present and future of contact lenses: a short editorial honouring Otto Wichterle's groundbreaking work and the subsequent development of soft contact lenses; a feature article explaining the evolution of Contact Lens Update and its position in the current landscape of contact lenses; and a poster exploring one facet of the future of soft contact lenses: drug delivery.
