The product consists of a sensor that is implanted into the eye as part of a surgery for cataracts, glaucoma, or corneal problems, and a handheld unit that can wirelessly power the implant and download its readings.
The handheld controller can immediately share the IOP gathered from the sensor with one’s doctor, avoiding any trips to the office to simply take a measurement of the IOP. Physicians can assign their patients a testing regimen, which can help identify events that are otherwise difficult to spot, and therefore aid in tuning medication prescriptions.
