The first human trial of an antibacterial contact lens got the ethics approval. The researchers at the Centre for Marine Biofouling and Bioinnovation invented this anti bacterial technology. The trail started from June 29.
The trial will evaluate the qualities of the safety performances of an antibacterial lens in comparison with standard contact lens.
The microbial contamination of contact lenses makes adverse effects on eye health. This trial will help to overcome this noteworthy problem. The contamination of contact lenses causes microbial keratitis, an eye disease that may lead to blindness.
Biosignal Ltd uses the anti bacterial technology that obstructs microbial infection in the eye. It blocks the signals on bacteria rely to make biofilms. Biosignal and the Institute for Eye Research already have concluded the tests on antibiofilm compounds that pose the real problems.
