Abstract

This paper presents a method for intraocular pressure measurement that consists of a passive sensor based in electromagnetic principles. The pressure sensor proposed is implemented by means of a reconfigurable substrate integrated cavity backed-antenna which is based in a backscattering principle for interrogation.
