A soft ophthalmic lens, typically made of a synthetic polymer/silicone, designed to be temporarily applied directly to the front surface of the eye (globe or cornea) to treat and manage non-refractive disorders such as cataract-removal wounds, corneal damage, and dry eyes. The device, sometimes referred to as a bandage contact lens, may be used to protect the eyes after surgery to allow wound healing; to treat corneal irregularities, erosions, and persistent epithelial defects/ulcers; to seal the anterior chamber; to deliver drugs; or for other treatment purposes.
