Contacts that can monitor glaucoma

Glaucoma is a serious condition. It is a condition that usually associated with high pressure building in the eye. The main issue with treating the condition is the constant changing pressure in the eyes making treatment difficult. The only way for a doctor to properly treat this condition properly would be constant observation. A new set of contacts can fix this by being able to monitor pressure in the eyes. It is a silicon hydrogel with sensors and a microprocessor. It can transmit the data wirelessly to a receiver around the neck. It has a strain gauge that causes the diameter of the cornea to change. Using the tracked data doctors can come up with a more effective treatment or the find out the viability of options like surgery. The contact lens offers options that were not previously not available to most doctors to manage glaucoma and possibly other diseases.
