Abstract
A contact lens is described that comprises a lens body and an epithelial growth factor (EGF) component. The EGF component is effective in maintaining a healthy epithelium of an eye on which the lens is placed. The EGF component includes an EGF, and preferably a human EGF. The lens may be effective in reducing irritation associated with conventional contact lenses, and also may be effective in treating dry eye and/or reducing infection of an eye. Packaging systems and method of manufacturing such lenses are also described.
