Summary:
It is known that intraocular pressure (IOP) is a key factor in the development of glaucoma, disease which could lead to blindness or eyeball loss. Present techniques are not able to measure IOP in a continuous way, capability which could be extremely helpful in diagnosing and preventing this disease. Implantable devices based on telemetric systems seem to be the most feasible technique to reach this goal. This paper summarizes some research work in this field. Firstly, two types of implantable sensors are evaluated by means of a functional simulation set up. One of them is based on magnetic effects whereas the other is based on resonant effects. Both are compared and, finally, a system based on the resonant sensor for capturing, processing and storing the signal is shown and evaluated.
