a Fluorescent microscopic images of NIH 3T3 cells after the live/dead assay (scale bar, 200 μm). b The relative cell viability of each sample (n = 3 independent experiments, ***P = 0.00003 for Blank and AgNW, ***P = 0.00004 for D-PEDOT and AgNW, ***P = 0.00004 for AuHNW and AgNW). c Fluorescein staining for corneal damage in rabbit eyes. d OM images and e the corneal thickness analysis of glaucoma-induced rabbits’ corneas (n = 3 independent experiments). f Photo-images for wireless power transmission and communication, and the thermal characterization of theranostic smart contact lens on rabbit’s eye with a control board. b, e Data are presented as a mean value ± SD. One-sided statistical analyses were performed by using a one-way analysis of variance.
