University of Waterloo researchers develop 3D-printed hydrogel for continuous drug delivery via contact lenses.

The gel is silicone-based and can help control the amount of medication a person would need, continuously delivering it as long as the contact lens is worn.

Using these hydrogels-loaded contact lenses could help physicians reduce pain and the number of times the patient has to apply the drug.
