In a recent study published in the journal Nature Communications, researchers developed a wireless theranostic contact lens (WTCL) sensor for sensing intraocular pressure (IOP) in situ and delivering ...

Across the world, some 80 million people suffer from glaucoma, a number that’s expected to swell to 111 million by 2040. Today, an estimated three million have been diagnosed in the United States. But ...

Most people with early-stage glaucoma don’t know they have it, even though early treatment is key to reducing vision loss. While detecting a subtle increase in eye pressure helps doctors to diagnose ...

Over the past few years, we've heard about several experimental devices that monitor the pressure in glaucoma patients' eyes. The miLens contact lens – which is the latest one to cross our radar – has ...

If people with glaucoma don't stay on top of their condition, blindness may result. An experimental new contact lens is designed to help, by both monitoring glaucoma symptoms and automatically ...

A wireless contact lens device could help treat the eye condition glaucoma by monitoring the build-up of pressure inside the eye and automatically delivering drugs when it rises too high. Glaucoma ...

A team of researchers at Beijing Institute of Technology, the Avic Chengdu Aircraft Design & Research Institute, and the Beijing Friendship Hospital have designed a new “smart” contact lens that could ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The vision of Purdue University biomedical engineer Chi Hwan Lee to develop specialized smart soft contact lenses that can accurately measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in a ...

SpyGlass Pharma Inc., which is promising an intraocular lens that will reshape the treatment of glaucoma, emerged from its initial public offering last month with a big boost from Wall Street.

Glaucoma is a common ocular disease in which the optic nerve malfunctions due to the increased intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by drainage canal blocking in the eye. This condition narrows the ...

For primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), clear-lens extraction was more effective and cost-effective than laser peripheral iridotomy, according to results from the Effectiveness in Angle-closure ...
