      abstract = {This comprehensive review explores the latest advancements in contact lens technology and materials, focusing on innovations that enhance patient comfort and visual performance. The paper examines the evolution of contact lens materials, from traditional hydrogels to silicone hydrogels and beyond, and investigates novel designs that address common issues such as dry eye and presbyopia. By analyzing a wide array of studies and clinical trials, we evaluate the efficacy of these new technologies in improving wearing time, reducing complications, and enhancing visual acuity. The review also delves into emerging technologies such as smart contact lenses and drug-eluting lenses, discussing their potential applications in both vision correction and healthcare monitoring. Our findings underscore the rapid pace of innovation in the field and highlight the need for continued research and development to meet the diverse needs of contact lens wearers. This paper aims to provide eye care professionals with a thorough understanding of current and future trends in contact lens technology, enabling them to offer optimal solutions for their patients.},
