The formation of a sensitive structure of a contact lens sensor

Abstract

Abstract Smart photonic crystal structures have attracted great attention in various areas of life. For medicine application smart photonic crystal films is promising as highly sensitive elements of contact lenses for monitoring the lacrimal glucose and intraocular pressure. To obtain structures with desired properties, the process parameters must be controllable, and the properties of structures must be reproducible and satisfy specified requirements. This article describes the controllable electrodeposition method and equipment for producing polystyrene opal photonic crystal films onto the surface of hydrogel contact lenses. We obtained quality three-dimensional ordered films with reproducible properties.
