title = "Development of contact lenses for ocular drug delivery",
abstract = "This study focussed on the development of a manufacturing and characterisation process for the production of contact lenses with controlled release properties. Three lens compositions with varying degrees of cross-linking (CL) density were studied, A (2.7% w/w), B (3.8% w/w) and C (7.8% w/w) The formulations were studied to determine the effect of CL density on the loading of Vitamin E. Vitamin E was loaded into the three polymer compositions with increased capacity observed with decreasing cross-link density, (1.8, 1.6 and 1.1 mg of Vitamin E loaded per lens for A, B and C, respectively). Critically Vitamin E was not released from the loaded lenses.",
