Morgan Lens
The Morgan Lens is a sterile plastic device resembling a contact lens connected to tubing that fits over the eye and allows copious irrigation of the eye over time without continuous attendance by medical personnel.〔(Definition from medilexicon.com )〕
==History==
The Morgan Lens was developed by Loran B. Morgan, a United States ophthamologist.〔(Home page of www.morganlens.com )〕 During Morgan's third Vietnam War tour as a volunteer physician, he concluded that many serious eye problems developed in individuals because fairly simple infections had not been treated adequately.〔 Morgan noted that to protect the eye from being severely infected, it was necessary to have a means for steadily delivering sterile fluid or medication to the eye.〔 Morgan noted that, especially in a war zone or an emergency room, medical personnel rarely had the time to continue administering eye drops to a patient continuously for a long enough period of time to thoroughly cleanse an irritated or infected eye.〔
As such, in February 1969, in Vinh Long, Morgan molded a simple device for cleaning the eye.〔(Zeke Scher, "The Wyoming Doctor Who Saves Eyes", ''Denver Post'', Feb. 20, 1972 )〕 Morgan was familiar with contact lenses (wearing them himself and often prescribing them to his patients), and his first Morgan Lens was larger than a modern contact lens, resembling the early contact lenses of the 1940s.〔 Morgan initially called the device the Therapeutic Lens Corneal, later renaming it the Morgan Medi-Flow Lens.〔 Later versions of the Morgan Lens were smaller and contained directional fins.〔(FAQs from Morgan Lens website )〕
