Abstract
Abstract Purpose To characterize a drug‐eluting contact lens designed to release ciprofloxacin to the eye in a controlled manner for an extended period of time. Methods Thin fiilms, containing ciprofloxacin or fluorescein encapsulated in PLGA (Poly[lactic‐co‐glycolic acid]), were coating by pHEMA (poly[hydroxyethyl methacrylate]) by ultraviolet light polymerization, creating prototype contact lenses. The films were characterized by scanning …
