Abstract

Approximately 60% of individuals who use contact lenses prefer to use frequent replacement lenses. Despite various improvements in contact lens technology, there has been minimal progress in weekly/monthly lenses. Meeting the requirements of patients who prefer frequent replacement lenses demands new technological advancements. Experts analyse the concept of biomimicry and its role in enhancing the relationship between contact lenses and the ocular surface.
