Abstract
This study aims to develop contact lenses with improved drug-release duration time by layer-by-layer (LBL) coating with natural polymers on contact lenses containing the drug gatifloxacin. LBL coating was performed in single and double layers on contact lenses containing gatifloxaxin using natural polymers carrageenan and polylysine. The performance of contact lenses was evaluated based on various physical properties and antibacterial properties. As a result, contact lenses containing gatifloxacin have reduced physical properties compared to lenses without gatifloxacin. As the concentration of gatifloxacin increased, oxygen permeability and wettability decreased, and antibacterial properties increased. LBL coating improved the wettability and antibacterial properties of contact lenses and increased the drug-release duration. Double-layers coated lenses increased the duration of drug release more than single-coated lenses.
