“…It produced a pressure measurement resolution of 2.4 mmHg between 0 and 55 mmHg pressure. Zolfaghari et al produced a separate glasses-based solution with an implantable diffraction grating MEMS sensor [51]. The readout glasses were embedded with a laser dioxide, miniaturized aspheric lenses, and a complementary-metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) camera [51].…”

Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness, and early detection and treatment are crucial for preventing vision loss. This review aims to provide an overview of current diagnostic and treatment standards, recent medical and technological advances, and current challenges and future outlook for wearable glaucoma diagnostics and therapeutics. Conventional diagnostic techniques, including the rebound tonometer and Goldmann Applanation Tonometer, provide reliable intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement data at single-interval visits. The Sensimed Triggerfish and other emerging contact lenses provide continuous IOP tracking, which can improve diagnostic IOP monitoring for glaucoma. Conventional therapeutic techniques include eye drops and laser therapies, while emerging drug-eluting contact lenses can solve patient noncompliance with eye medications. Theranostic platforms combine diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities into a single device. Advantages of these platforms include real-time monitoring and personalized medication dosing. While there are many challenges to the development of wearable glaucoma diagnostics and therapeutics, wearable technologies hold great potential for enhancing glaucoma management by providing continuous monitoring, improving medication adherence, and reducing the disease burden on patients and healthcare systems. Further research and development of these technologies will be essential to optimizing patient outcomes.

“…Similar to these glasses-based models, other designs have been proposed that incorporate glasses with an implantable element. One example of this is a diffraction grating interferometric implantable micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) sensor, that is incor-porated with readout glasses (The MEMS Sensor-Glasses Pair for Real-Time Monitoring of Intraocular Pressure by Zolfaghari et al [102]). The combination of glasses with implantable sensors reflects the innovation that the field is undergoing, and indicates the progress being made.…”
