Abstract: Conventional methods to load drugs into contact lenses are usually inefficient and are mostly limited to high water solubility drugs. This work involves the application of a supercritical fluid assisted molecular imprinting method in order to improve hydrophobic drug loading into soft contact lenses. The feasibility of preparing improved and more efficient flurbiprofen-loaded Hilafilcon B daily- and monthly-wear contact lenses is demonstrated. Furthermore, these processes do not alter critical functional properties of contact lenses and enable the regulation of drug loading by applying various processing cycles.
