Innovative antimicrobial contact lenses for human and animal therapeutic purposes
An SME from Latvia has developed innovative hydrogel lenses for the application in the immediate treatment of chemical eye injuries and different types of eye infections. This technology is the synthesis of hydrogel and ion exchange resins. The lenses absorb bacteria, fungus, toxins, chemicals, and presents one of very few non-drugs alternative available on the market. The company is looking for licence agreement to contact lens manufacturers for manufacture and/or to sell under the licence.
