👉 Eye engineering, also known as ophthalmic biomaterials science, is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design, development, and application of advanced materials and technologies to improve vision correction and eye health. This field combines principles from materials science, optics, biology, and engineering to create innovative solutions such as high-resolution contact lenses, intraocular lenses (IOLs) for cataract surgery, and biocompatible implants. By understanding the intricate structure and function of the human eye, researchers develop materials that mimic natural tissues, enhance optical performance, and promote biocompatibility, ultimately aiming to restore or enhance vision in patients with various ocular conditions. Eye engineering also explores the integration of smart technologies, such as adaptive optics and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), to create next-generation devices that can dynamically adjust to changing visual demands and environmental conditions.
