Wireless theranostic smart contact lens for monitoring and control of intraocular pressure in glaucoma

Abstract

Glaucoma is an irreversible ocular disease that may lead to vision loss. Here the authors develop a theranostic smart contact lens with an intraocular pressure sensor, a flexible drug delivery system, wireless power and communication systems and an application specific integrated circuit chip for both monitoring and control of intraocular pressure in glaucoma induced rabbits.
