Wireless theranostic smart contact lens for monitoring and control of intraocular pressure in glaucoma.

ABSTRACT: Glaucoma is one of the irreversible ocular diseases that can cause vision loss in some serious cases. Although Triggerfish has been commercialized for monitoring intraocular pressure in glaucoma, there is no smart contact lens to monitor intraocular pressure and take appropriate drug treatment in response to the intraocular pressure levels. Here, we report a precisely integrated theranostic smart contact lens with a sensitive gold hollow nanowire based intraocular pressure sensor, a flexible drug delivery system, wireless power and communication systems and an application specific integrated circuit chip for both monitoring and control of intraocular pressure in glaucoma. The gold hollow nanowire based intraocular pressure sensor shows high ocular strain sensitivity, chemical stability and
