You probably know about the close relationship with Intra Ocular Pressure and Glaucoma

Which it’s why it is regularly checked

With an “air puff”

Or maybe after having drops put in your eyes.

In future there maybe a way of monitoring your pressure continuously without visits to the optician of hospital

A successful  recent study showed the pressure could be measures by wearing a soft contact lens with a built in sensor.

Those in the study had not worn contact lenses before.

One the major benefits of continuous monitoring is peaks and troughs in the pressure will be detected, which is very difficult to detect with conventional methods.

Leading to better control of pressures.

More trials and medical device approval will be needed however before this is launched.
