Functionalization of Nanomaterials for obtaining new contact lenses, and early diagnostics of diabetes

Under the term contact lens is considered every to eye adaptive shaped optic material which is placed on the surface of cornea for correction of refractional eye anomalies (myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, presbyopic), i.e. improving of sight sharpness, healing eye illness, and also removing cosmetic defects, and changing eye color. It is known that light through sense of sight affect on neuro-regulation processes in the brain, and basic is serotonin/melatonin mechanism. Violation of this mechanism leads to disorder of circadian rhythm, and violation of neuro-endocrine-immune regulation mechanism, while longer absence of light lead to neuro-psychological disorders which lead to depression. Apart to that through eye can be established noninvasive monitoring of glycemia, which can result with solutions that lead to early diagnostics of diabetes. With a goal of searching for solution for improving the sharpness of sight, healing of depression and early diagnostics of diabetes in this project is proposed application of nanomaterials/nanoparticules for obtaining new contact lenses. Nanotechnological solutions will be based on adding, in appropriate percent, nanomaterials and nanoparticules to basic materials as are poly-methacrylate (PMMA), hydroxy-ethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and/or glycerol methacrylate (GMA). From new nanofotonic materials will be made first lenses for experimental animals, and then when their compatibility is examined, will be made for voluntary probationers
