In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers developed a wireless theranostic contact lens (WTCL) sensor for sensing intraocular pressure (IOP) in situ and delivering ...

Most people with early-stage glaucoma don’t know they have it, even though early treatment is key to reducing vision loss. While detecting a subtle increase in eye pressure helps doctors to diagnose ...

If people with glaucoma don't stay on top of their condition, blindness may result. An experimental new contact lens is designed to help, by both monitoring glaucoma symptoms and automatically ...

Over the past few years, we've heard about several experimental devices that monitor the pressure in glaucoma patients' eyes. The miLens contact lens – which is the latest one to cross our radar – has ...

A team of researchers at Beijing Institute of Technology, the Avic Chengdu Aircraft Design & Research Institute, and the Beijing Friendship Hospital have designed a new “smart” contact lens that could ...

A wireless contact lens device could help treat the eye condition glaucoma by monitoring the build-up of pressure inside the eye and automatically delivering drugs when it rises too high. Glaucoma ...

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 ...

Most people with early-stage glaucoma don't know they have it, even though early treatment is key to reducing vision loss. While detecting a subtle increase in eye pressure helps doctors to diagnose ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The vision of Purdue University biomedical engineer Chi Hwan Lee to develop specialized smart soft contact lenses that can accurately measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in a ...
