Company Summary

LeukoTech is developing a set of contact lens fabrication technologies for producing contact lenses with “active coloration” characteristics. Active Coloration, in a variety of colors and patterns will assist contact lens users with the daily chore of locating, inserting, and removing their left and right contact lenses. Active Coloration in specific patterns mitigates the likelihood of insertion of a “flipped” contact lens into the eye.
