Researchers have developed contact lenses with embedded sensors that measure the pressure inside the eye and send the information to an ophthalmologist for evaluation. It’s hoped that the lens will ...

Glaucoma is a common ocular disease in which the optic nerve malfunctions due to the increased intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by drainage canal blocking in the eye. This condition narrows the ...

Lower Glaucoma Risk for Statin Users With Hyperlipidemia A contact lens sensor (CLS) provides safe and tolerable 24-hour monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) patterns in patients with or suspected ...

In recent years, we've heard of at least two different implants designed to measure the intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients' eyes, potentially preventing blindness. Yet another such implant, ...

In this work, we have developed a nanophotonic-based optomechnical device and reported the smallest intraocular pressure (IOP) implant (Dia: 500 um, Thick: 200 um) that can be placed in any area under ...

Elevated or diminished eye pressure impairs our ability to see, and in the worst cases, can even lead to blindness. Until now, there has been no effective long-term treatment. In response, researchers ...

Intraocular pressure, or eye pressure, is pressure from fluid inside the eye. Measuring intraocular pressure is important as high intraocular pressure can increase the risk of glaucoma. The eye ...
