Long‐Lasting, Transparent Antibacterial Shield: A Durable, Broad‐Spectrum Anti‐Bacterial, Non‐Cytotoxic, Transparent Nanocoating for Extended Wear Contact Lenses (Small 11/2025)
Transparent Antibacterial Shield A durable, transparent nanocoating advances contact lens safety, offering long-lasting antibacterial protection against pathogens such as MRSA while preserving optical clarity. The solvent-free polymer film demonstrates exceptional stability, maintaining antibacterial efficacy for over nine weeks and withstanding repeated mechanical stress. This innovation addresses the critical need for infection prevention in extended-wear contact lenses. More in article number 2405635, Kyoung G. Lee, Yong Woo Ji, Sung Gap Im, and co-workers.
