IU School of Optometry’s Dr. Pete Kollbaum Leading Clinical Trials on New Soft Contact Lenses
A new contact lens technology to help diagnose and monitor medical conditions may soon be ready for clinical trials. A team of researchers at Purdue University enabled commercial soft contact lenses to be a bioinstrumentation tool for unobtrusive monitoring of clinically important information associated with underlying ocular health conditions.
Pete Kollbaum, OD’99, PhD ’07, Indiana University School of Optometry’s Director of the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research, is leading the clinical trials. Dr. Kollbaum is also the dean for research and associate professor at the IU School of Optometry.
