Influence of Contact Lenses Material on Aqueous Solutions

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper we present the investigation of influence of new nanophotonic materials for contact lenses on aqueous solutions. The contact lenses that we used were made of standard siloxane acrylate material with incorporated molecules C 60 and another with fullerol C 60 (OH) 24 . The aim of the investigation was to compare the influences of these materials on different solutions, such as aqua purificata, saline and drops for dry eyes.Optomagnetic spectroscopy was used to analyze different solutions. The obtained spectrums were commented on and compared with the standard contact lens material, which was analyzed by using the same method, in order to show the differences in influence of this standard and new nanophotonic material. This research contributes to a better understanding of biocompatibility of new contact lens materials.

Comparative Study of Classical and Nanophotonic Materials for RGP Contact Lenses by Scanning Probe Microscopy

“…Like with Material A the amount of nanomaterials added was one gram to 300 gram of the SP40. The reason for replacing fullerene with fullerol was to have different electromagnetic influence on the transmitting light and to have higher biocompatibility because fullerol is a functionalized C60 with OH groups [7]. Hardness of Material B was roughly the same as Material A [6].…”
