  • Intraocular physiological sensor
    Patent number: 11564569
    Abstract: An implantable intraocular physiological sensor for measuring intraocular pressure, glucose concentration in the aqueous humor, and other physiological characteristics. The implantable intraocular physiological sensor may be at least partially powered by a fuel cell, such as an electrochemical glucose fuel cell. The implantable intraocular physiological sensor may wirelessly transmit measurements to an external device. In addition, the implantable intraocular physiological sensor may incorporate aqueous drainage and/or drug delivery features.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2018
    Date of Patent: January 31, 2023
    Assignee: GLAUKOS CORPORATION
    Inventors: Thomas W. Burns, Harold A. Heitzmann, Kenneth Martin Curry, David S. Haffner, David Applegate, Bruce Nogales
