“…This technique has significant potential for the manufacturing of SCLs, where electrospun nanofibers can be integrated onto the lens surface using techniques such as spin coating or inkjet printing. ,− One application of electrospinning is the fabrication of drug-loaded nanofibers, which can be incorporated into the contact lens material to provide sustained drug release for the treatment of eye diseases such as glaucoma. The porous structure of the electrospun fibers allows for a high drug-loading capacity and controlled release kinetics.…”

The eye contains a complex network of physiological information and biomarkers for monitoring disease and managing health, and ocular devices can be used to effectively perform point-of-care diagnosis and disease management. This comprehensive review describes the target biomarkers and various diseases, including ophthalmic diseases, metabolic diseases, and neurological diseases, based on the physiological and anatomical background of the eye. This review also includes the recent technologies utilized in eyewearable medical devices and the latest trends in wearable ophthalmic devices, specifically smart contact lenses for the purpose of disease management. After introducing other ocular devices such as the retinal prosthesis, we further discuss the current challenges and potential possibilities of smart contact lenses.
