Spatial Homeotropic and Planar Liquid Crystal Alignment Patterning

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A voltage‐assisted two‐step photoalignment methodology achieves precise micro‐patterning of alternating planar and homeotropic liquid crystal domains. Applying an AC electric field during in situ laser illumination minimizes phase retardation, reducing the required exposure dose. This cooperative mechanism enables high‐resolution spatial patterning and

Oxygen performance of contact lenses: A human eye model

open access: yes, 1981
Since Smesler and Ozanics1 demonstrated the affinity of the cornea for atmospheric oxygen, contact lens investigators have become increasingly concerned with maximising oxygen availability to the contact lens wearing cornea.

Contact lenses can induce stromal thinning [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
We examined 27 patients who had worn high water content hydrogel contact lenses in one eye only for an average of 62 ± 29 months (means ± SD). The stroma of the lens-wearing eye was found to be significantly thinner (p < 0.05) than that of the ...
