(L-R) Assistant Professor Wang Xiaomeng from NTU's Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and Professor Chen Peng from the NTU School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering are part of an NTU team that developed a 'contact lens' eye patch to treat eye diseases. Painless and minimally invasive, the patch could potentially be a viable alternative to the current treatment options, which face poor patient compliance.
