Method for monitoring intraocular pressure using a passive intraocular pressure sensor and patient worn monitoring recorder

   
   

A device for passively measuring intraocular pressure of a patient including an in vivo sensor and an instrument external to the patient for remotely energizing the sensor, thereby permitting the instrument to determine the intraocular pressure. The device directly and continuously measures the intraocular pressure of a patient. The in vivo sensor in the intraocular pressure monitor includes a capacitive pressure sensor and an inductive component. An instrument, external to the patient, measures the pressure, provides readout of the pressure values and determines the intraocular pressure.

Un dispositif pour mesurer passivement la pression intraocular d'un patient comprenant une sonde in vivo et un instrument externes au patient pour activer à distance la sonde, permettant de ce fait à l'instrument de déterminer la pression intraocular. Le dispositif directement et mesure sans interruption la pression intraocular d'un patient. La sonde in vivo dans le moniteur intraocular de pression inclut une sonde capacitive de pression et un composant inductif. Un instrument, externe au patient, mesures la pression, fournit l'afficheur des valeurs de pression et détermine la pression intraocular.
