Smart contact lens with transparent MXene decoration for ocular photothermal therapy and eye protection
Source abstract
Abstract
A smart contact lens platform for ocular thermal therapy and eye protection is desirable for treating or alleviating ocular disease while reducing risk of laser injury, dehydration, and bacterial infection. Herein, we report a wearable, transparent, multifunctional contact lens platform for ocular photothermal therapy and eye protection, realized by simply spray-decorating a Ti3C2Tx MXene layer on a commercial contact lens. The obtained transparent MXene-decorated contact lens (M-contact lens) provides excellent in vitro and in vivo photothermal conversion efficiency, effectively improving the vascular blood flow in the ocular anterior segment. The M-contact lens also exhibits notable laser protection performance and superior moisturizing capability and antibacterial activity. Notably, the M-contact lens has good biosafety for eyes, ensuring its safety during practical applications. The smart M-contact lens is highly promising in adjuvant therapy for ocular superficial disease and for ocular protection from lasers, dehydration, and bacteria.
