彩色軟式隱形眼鏡之物化性質分析   全文下載

Survey on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Color Contact Lens

全球隱形眼鏡市場預測將從2018年的72億美元，到2023年擴大到92億美元的規模（1），而近年來隨著民眾時尚價值觀提升，隱形眼鏡已自實用功能轉而兼具流行時尚之發展方向，許多隱形眼鏡製造廠也陸續開發兼具矯正與美觀的彩色鏡片，多樣化的彩色隱形眼鏡更是隱形眼鏡市場的主要成長趨動力。由於隱形眼鏡是直接配戴在角膜及眼睛鄰近邊緣區或鞏膜區，用來矯正視力的醫療器材，國內對於隱形眼鏡已訂定「軟式隱形眼鏡臨床前測試基準」（2），必須進行包括透氧率、光穿透率、折射率、含水量及著色劑溶出等物化性質測試，惟目前對於隱形眼鏡著色後，對各項物化性質之影響，尚無相關研究及測試，故進行本研究，結果顯示不同顏色之軟式隱形眼鏡其物化性質無顯著差異。

The global contact lens market is expected to reach USD 9.2 billion by 2023 from an estimated USD 7.2 billion in 2018. In recent year, the product positioning of contact lens has shifted from functional devices to symbols of popular culture. Many manufacturers developed color contact lens with corrective function and beautiful appearance. Diversification of the color contact lens is one of the main growth trend force in the global contact lens market. Contact lens is a device intended to be worn directly against the cornea and adjacent limbal and scleral areas of the eye to correct vision conditions or act as a therapeutic bandage. In Taiwan, there are regulations for the testing of contact lens, such as the '' Guidance for Pre-clinical Testing of Soft Contact Lenses ''. The test items include, oxygen permeability, light transmittance, refractive index, water content and color additive extraction on its lens physicochemical properties. However, there is no complete research and test report on the impacts about the various properties of contact lens, safety and efficacy after coloring. The study conducted physical and chemical properties tests of color contact lens. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the physicochemical properties of the lens with different color.
