Abstract: An intraocular pressure monitoring device has a soft contact lens and a pressure sensor united with the contact lens, the pressure sensor comprising an active strain gage, a passive gage, a rigid element and a microprocessor. The active strain gage, passive gage and rigid element are placed at a distance from the center of the contact lens, the active strain gage comprising a portion encircling the center of the contact lens on at least 180°, wherein the passive gage and the rigid element each comprise a portion encircling the center of the contact lens on at least 180°, and wherein the portion of the passive gage situated around the center of the contact lens is placed in immediate vicinity of the portion of the rigid element situated around the center of the contact lens. A kit has such a pressure monitoring device and a portable recording device configured for communicating with the pressure monitoring device and for storing data received from it.

Abstract: Intraocular pressure measuring and/or monitoring device comprising a soft contact lens and a pressure sensor united with the soft contact lens, the pressure sensor being located such that it is applied against an eye of a user for sensing the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye when the soft contact lens is worn by the user, wherein the soft contact lens is softer than a surface of the eye and is configured to adapt its shape to the shape of the eye under the effect of capillary force maintaining the contact lens on the eye when the user is wearing the contact lens.

Abstract: System for monitoring at least one biomechanical ophthalmic parameter, the system comprising a measuring device (1) adapted to be placed on or implanted into an eye of a patient for measuring said at least one biomechanical ophthalmic parameter of said eye, a recording device (6) for obtaining from said measuring device (1) measurement data representative of the instant value of said at least one biomechanical ophthalmic parameter of said eye, wherein said recording device is adapted to obtain said measurement data at a predetermined frequency equal to or greater than twice the variation frequency of said at least one biomechanical ophthalmic parameter.
