Abstract
The technology relates to a prophylactic bandage contact lens that prevents microbial infections in an eye as well as treats infection by dispensing antimicrobial medication at controlled rates. In one embodiment, the invention provides a bandage with nanostructures, and provides a continuous treatment over 10 days and shields the eye from the environment, significantly diminishing the risk of infection while allowing damaged tissues to heal.
