Contact lens with OLED offers safer simpler retinal diagnosis

Electroretinography (ERG) is an ophthalmic diagnostic method used to determine whether the retina is functioning normally.

Korean researchers develop diagnostic contact-lenses based on flexible OLED devices

Researchers from Korea's KAIST institute, in collaboration with researchers from Seoul National University, POSTECH and ETRI, have developed wirelessly-powered ophthalmic diagnostic contact-lenses based on OLED devices. The contact-lenses use the Electroretinography (ERG) ophthalmic diagnostic method that measures whether the retinal function is operating normally. ERG is widely used for the diagnosis of hereditary retinal diseases and assessing…
