Innovative Medicinal Contact Lenses: Controlled Drug Delivery Technologies in Ophthalmology

This research article presents the results of the development and experimental evaluation of prolonged-release contact lenses for use in ophthalmology. The research aimed to create innovative delivery systems capable of overcoming the limitations of traditional eye drops, such as low bioavailability and the need for frequent use. Silicone hydrogel (Senofilcon A, Lotrafilcon B) and polymer (pHEMA) matrices modified with PLGA nanoparticles and cyclodextrins were used in the work to improve the sol
