| Research Abstract |
To investigate non-viral device for gene transfer to the anterior segment of the eye using a newly developed anionic hydrogel soft contact lens (SCL). The newly developed SCL which contained imidazolium group and phosphate group in its side chains lens might be one of the efficient devices for non-viral gene transfection to corneal epithelial cells. It is suggested that this SCL could be applied for gene therapy for corneal diseases.
