Abstract :
Measuring Intraocular Pressure (IOP) has proved to be an important diagnosis tool for detecting and preventing glaucoma, a disease which could lead to blindness or even eye loss. Continuous time monitoring of IOP is important for medical research. This paper presents a method for measuring an storing IOP in a continuous way, based on a resonant pressure sensing device.
