When someone has glaucoma, there’s always a danger that pressure caused by fluid accumulating within the eye will damage the optic nerve, resulting in blindness. The Injectsense implant is designed to help, by constantly monitoring a recipient’s intraocular pressure or IOP, for short.
Ordinarily, glaucoma patients regularly get pressure-checks performed at an ophthalmologist’s office. If it’s determined that an excess of undrained aqueous humor fluid is causing their IOP to become dangerously high, then measures such as a change in medication or even surgery can be implemented.
