Abstract:
The present invention relates to a contact lens for diagnosis and treatment of dry eye syndrome. The contact lens, according to the present invention, may diagnose dry eye syndrome by means of a change in an electric current occurring as a result of a field effect when a dry eye syndrome biomarker binds to a probe, and when dry eye syndrome is diagnosed, generates an electric current so that a gold film blocking a drug reservoir melts by the electric current, thereby enabling the release of a drug to be controlled.
