Abstract
A peptide hydrogel with an antimicrobial activity is developed as a bandage contact lens. The antimicrobial activity is enhanced with the addition of the biomolecules penicillin G or poly‐ε‐lysine and is positive against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . The lens is also noncytotoxic toward a human corneal epithelial cell line and as a consequence is of great potential as a drug‐eluting bandage lens replacing conventional corneal ulcer treatment.
