  • Patent number: 8939906
    Abstract: A wireless intraocular pressure monitoring device includes reflecting and detecting modules. The reflecting module includes a soft contact lens having a curvature corresponding to that of a cornea while worn. A metal layer is embedded in and deformable with the soft contact lens. The detecting module includes two waveguides, an oscillator, and a converting unit. The oscillator is operable to generate oscillation signals having a frequency dependent on an equivalent impedance of the waveguides such that the equivalent impedance corresponds to intraocular pressure. The converting unit is operable for receiving and converting the oscillation signals into an output signal corresponding to the intraocular pressure.

  • Patent number: 5741777
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods and compositions for inhibiting wound contraction and the scarring that frequently results from such contraction. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of a protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor to block the dephosphorylation of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptors and interrupt the cyclic nature of wound contraction.
