What are Therapeutic Contact Lenses?

Advances in materials technology and better understanding of the eye’s needs in health and disease have enabled the development of soft and rigid lenses to aid in protecting and helping a sick eye (especially certain corneal disorders) to heal. This acts as a transparent bandage which protects the injured or diseased cornea, and acting as a reservoir of medication inserted into the eye. A variety of conditions may be treated and in some cases, even cured in this manner. These unique lenses are frequently combined with precise medication delivery schedules to help heal the eye.
