The Future of the Contact Lens Field Unveiled by Multiscale Simulation: Presentation at the Short Symposium of the 68th Annual Meeting of the Japan Contact Lens Society
On Sunday, May 31, 2026, Center Director Okabe and Specially Appointed Professor Ito spoke at the Short Symposium, “Creating New Lenses through Simulation: Feasibility of Tailor-Made Contact Lenses,” during the 68th Annual Meeting of the Japan Contact Lens Society held at the TAKANAWA GATEWAY Convention Center.
Center Director Okabe delivered a presentation titled “The Forefront of Numerical Simulation for Contact Lens Materials and the Challenge of Tailor-Made Design.”
The forward-looking content clearly demonstrated how the potential of advanced measurement in material evaluation directly links to green innovation, leaving a profound impression on the audience.
Specially Appointed Professor Ito delivered a presentation titled “The Evolution of Contact Lens Materials, Future Materials Derived from Digital Twins, and Their Outlook.”
They introduced the vision for the future of green innovation brought about by “digital twin technology,” which integrates multiscale analysis and multiscale simulation.
The program concluded with a panel discussion, featuring an active general discussion focused on the future of contact lens (CL) materials.
It was a meaningful conclusion that mapped out a next-generation roadmap from diverse perspectives, aiming for the integration of medical advancements and sustainable green innovation.
