Contact lenses are vital tools in ophthalmology, offering corrective vision solutions with comfort and convenience. These thin, curved lenses sit directly on the eye's surface, correcting refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision). They work by refracting light to focus it precisely on the retina, improving visual acuity without the bulk of eyeglasses.
Contact lenses come in various types: soft lenses, made of flexible plastics for comfort; rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, allowing more oxygen to reach the cornea; and hybrid lenses combining features of both. They require proper care to prevent infections and ensure longevity. Advancements include daily disposable lenses for hygiene and extended wear options.
While contact lenses offer freedom from glasses, they require a fitting by an eye care professional to ensure proper prescription and fit. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor eye health and ensure continued comfort and effectiveness.
The management of irregular corneas remains one of the most demanding challenges in modern contact lens practice. While traditional approaches may provide partial solutions, the advent of advanced…

The Contact Lenses track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Contact Lenses. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Contact Lenses are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Contact Lenses track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
