Abstract
Contact lenses are emerging as a promising platform for non-invasive biosensing of various biomarkers in tear fluid. This review covers recent advances in developing contact lens-based biosensors for detecting glucose, lactate, intraocular pressure, matrix metalloproteinases, and cancer biomarkers. Photonic crystal-based colorimetric sensors exploiting the diffraction of visible light have shown great potential for continuous monitoring of tear glucose levels. Electrochemical enzymatic biosensors integrated into contact lenses have also been explored for detecting lactate and glucose. Novel sensing approaches based on microfluidics, antiopal photonic structures, cantilevers, and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates have enabled non-invasive measurement of intraocular pressure, inflammatory biomarkers like MMP-9, and cancer exosomes in tear fluid. Contact lens-based biosensors offer the unique advantages of being non-invasive, providing a direct sample interface, enabling continuous monitoring, and integrating multiple sensing modalities. However, challenges related to enzyme stability, calibration, manufacturing scalability, sterilization, and regulatory approval need to be addressed before widespread clinical implementation. Overall, this multidisciplinary field combining contact lenses with advanced biosensing technologies holds immense potential for transforming healthcare through predictive, preventive, and personalized monitoring of ocular and systemic conditions.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals.
