Publication number: 20220218202Abstract: A device for non-invasive monitoring and measuring of intraocular pressure (IOP) of a subject includes a flexible lens that fits on the eye and changes curvature in response to a change in curvature of the eye. A microchannel disposed in or on the lens has one or more ends that are open to the atmosphere and an indicator solution is disposed in a portion of the 5 microchannel. The microchannel exhibits a change in volume in response to a change in curvature of the lens, which results in a change in position of the indicator solution in the microchannel. The change in position of the indicator solution in the microchannel is indicative of a change in IOP. The change in position of the indicator solution may be detected in digital images of the lens taken with a camera of a mobile electronic device such 0 as a smartphone or a camera worn by the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2020Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventors: Angelica Campigotto, Yong Jun Lai, Robert J.
