Smart Contact Lens helps Predict Disease Progression in Glaucoma Patients

Intraocular pressure-related parameters obtained with 24-hour recording with a CLS were associated with the rate of visual field progression in treated glaucomatous eyes. This technology may be useful in detecting eyes at higher risk of glaucoma progression while receiving treatment.

Intraocular pressure-related parameters obtained with 24-hour recording with a CLS (contact lens sensor) were associated with the rate of visual field progression in treated glaucomatous eyes. This technology may be useful in detecting eyes at higher risk of glaucoma progression while receiving treatment.

Study shows that signals from wearable device can help identify patients more likely to deteriorate quickly. A contact lens with a built-in sensor could help determine which glaucoma patients have a higher risk of disease progression. Researchers found certain patterns of electrical signals emitted from the “smart” contact lenses correlate with a faster rate of glaucoma progression.
