Advancements in 3D printing were showcased by the Centre for Ocular Research & Education (Core) during the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s (Arvo) annual meeting in New Orleans on April 23-27.
Core said innovations had widespread applications with the potential to accelerate development of drug delivery systems, biodegradable contact lenses and pharmaceuticals.
Alex Hui, head of biosciences at Core, said: ‘Our multidisciplinary team has created one of the most sophisticated 3D printing environments for ocular research in the world. This investment in people and technologies is opening doors for new discoveries, product validation, and clinical insights, with so many implications for enhancing vision.’
