Self-healing contact lenses repair scratches with just one hour of UV light exposure
SMRTR summary
South Korean researchers developed a self-healing contact lens material that repairs scratches using just one hour of UV light exposure. The hydrogel-based material also resists bacteria and abrasion, losing only 2% transparency after repeated scratching. Future users could repair lenses at home using common UV devices, reducing waste and replacement costs.
