Flexure of thin rigid contact lenses

open access: yes, 2001
The flexure of spherical rigid contact lenses was measured on the eyes of lO young subjects using a videokeratoscope. Five subjects had little or no with-the-rule astigmatism (< O.

Nuclear Pore Mechanotransduction in Oncology: A Structural Axis of Vulnerability for Targeted Intervention

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Cancer‐associated NPC remodeling creates a high‐flux, low‐stringency nuclear state that supports malignant adaptation but increases mechanical fragility. Targeting the FG‐barrier or NPC scaffold may drive mechanostat failure, envelope rupture, DNA damage, and loss of nuclear integrity.

Contact Lenses - A Review

open access: yesIndian Journal of Ophthalmology, 1987
A review of recent literature on contact lenses shows increasingly more studies on soft contact lenses than PMMA hard lenses The articles on contact lens wear and ulcerative keratitis have highlighted the increased risk of microbial keratitis in contact ...

Field restriction and vignetting in contact lenses with opaque peripheries

open access: yes, 1998
Background: Some previous researchers have shown empirically that visual fields can be restricted by contact lenses with opaque and semi-opaque peripheral zones.

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 ...

Defects in disposable contact lenses can compromise ocular integrity

open access: yes, 1992
To ascertain the prevalence of defects in disposable contact lenses, an Optimec JFC contact lens analyser (×16 magnification) was used to examine 150 Acuvue, 150 NewVues, and 150 SeeQuence lenses, all -3.00D in power.

All‐Amyloid Functional Coacervates

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces an all‐amyloid interfacial complex coacervate technique that employs charge‐mediated or functionalization‐assisted complexation of oppositely charged food protein‐derived amyloid nanofibrils to engineer functional soft constructs across multiple length scales.

Impact of contact lens hygiene risk factors on the prevalence of contact lens-related keratitis in Alexandria-Egypt

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection
Background This study aimed at measuring the effect of contact lens hygiene risk factors on the prevalence of contact lens-related keratitis and identifying the specific risk factors to both microbial and non-microbial keratitis independently.

Fast Hydrogel Micro‐Actuators Driven by Electric Fields

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report the fabrication of chemically programmable electroactuating microstructures through the first integration of two‐photon polymerization with electrically actuated gelatin methacrylate‐based hydrogels. By tailoring the charge of the polymer network, we demonstrate programmable polarity‐dependent bending, enabling microstructures that ...
