Tomorrow’s contact lenses will leverage our capabilities to perceive and interact with the world around us. Augmented reality contact lenses will enable navigation and communication without the need of visible hardware. Contact lenses that sense, monitor and treat diseases will open new paradigms for health management and personalized therapies while being imperceptible to the wearer. Although many of these technologies have reached the prototype phase, their translation into viable commercial devices is not trivial. New functions need to be integrated into devices of highest comfort and ecologically responsible manufacture to ensure widespread consumer adoption.
We invite industry leaders to join us and discuss the opportunities and challenges in this field, and to form collaborations for the successful translation of smart contact lens technologies into everyday use. In seminars and discussion tables, we will explore the latest advances in device design, technology integration and materials engineering.
Register today and be part of the future of contact lenses!

Flyer You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
