INTRAOCULAR PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR

INTRAOCULAR PHYSIOLOGICAL SENSOR

An implantable intraocular physiological sensor (e.g., 200) for measuring intraocular pressure, glucose concentration in the aqueous humor, and other physiological characteristics. The implantable intraocular physiological sensor (e.g., 200) may be at least partially powered by a fuel cell, such as...

Zusammenfassung:An implantable intraocular physiological sensor (e.g., 200) for measuring intraocular pressure, glucose concentration in the aqueous humor, and other physiological characteristics. The implantable intraocular physiological sensor (e.g., 200) may be at least partially powered by a fuel cell, such as an electrochemical glucose fuel cell (e.g., 210). The implantable intraocular physiological sensor (e.g., 200) may wirelessly transmit measurements to an external device. In addition, the implantable intraocular physiological sensor may incorporate aqueous drainage and/or drug delivery features.
