title: Release of therapeutic agents from contact lenses.
abstract: Drug release from contact lenses was studied by a technological approach. Different parameters such as introduction of drug into the lenses, release, hydration level, molecular weight of drugs, kinetics of release, and clinical tests were reviewed. Therapeutical benefits of this kind of dispensation was taken up. The actual inadequacies from the techniques used must be palliated by publication of new performance technologies that are studied today.
