Contact Lens Update

Issue 01 | May 2011

Celebrating 50 years of contact lenses

It seems particularly fitting to launch Contact Lens Update in the 50th anniversary year of soft 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.
