Figure from Nathan Carey's review on contact lens-associated infections — ACS Infectious Diseases

We're delighted to congratulate Nathan Carey and co-authors on the publication of a new review in ACS Infectious Diseases—a leading, high-impact journal at the forefront of infectious disease research.

The article, A Review of Contact Lens-Associated Infections and Biomaterial-Based Solutions, surveys the clinical burden of contact lens-related infections and the biomaterial strategies being developed to prevent them. From microbial keratitis and biofilm formation on lens surfaces to advances in antimicrobial coatings, surface modifications, and next-generation lens materials, the review brings together current understanding and emerging solutions in a field where patient safety and innovation go hand in hand.

Publishing in ACS Infectious Diseases is a significant achievement. The journal is widely recognised for rigorous, impactful work at the interface of chemistry, materials science, and infectious disease.
