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 ...
More uses for implantable sensors are being discovered every day. One such capability is pressure detection, including the detection of intra-ocular pressure, helpful for treating glaucoma. Advances ...
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, ...
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 ...
