Continuous 24-Hour Monitoring of Intraocular Pressure Patterns With a Contact Lens Sensor

Abstract

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma.¹ Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is considered the criterion standard for measuring IOP,² but its measurements are influenced by central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal biomechanical properties, and scleral rigidity.^3,4 The most significant shortcoming of GAT, however, is the static nature of its measurements. Yet, IOP is a dynamic parameter with distinct circadian rhythms that vary among individuals, and single IOP measurements may fail to reflect the true range of an individual's IOP.^5,6
