Advanced materials, such as polymers with functional groups that change in response to temperature or light, present the opportunity to develop next-generation ophthalmic therapeutic and diagnostic tools. This chapter will summarize advances in stimuli-responsive materials and devices suited for applications in different tissues within and around the eye. It will also provide context for these novel materials and systems in the broader landscape of clinical applicability and patient needs.
