研究目的
To evaluate the feasibility of a novel system for the automated, noncontact measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma.
研究成果
The study demonstrated the feasibility of repeated and automated 24-hour noncontact IOP measurements using a prototype reading system after implantation of a novel telemetric IOP sensor in patients with glaucoma. The system was well tolerated and provided a large amount of data on IOP without the requirement of manual measurements.
研究不足
The study included a single patient, providing limited data. The accuracy of the first-generation IOP sensor was a limiting factor. There were no predefined questionnaires used for the evaluation of the measuring system, and the interpretation of the results is influenced by the nonblinded investigator, which may lead to bias.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study assessed the feasibility of a novel system for automated, noncontact IOP measurement using a first-generation telemetric IOP sensor implanted in the ciliary sulcus of patients with glaucoma.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A single patient with normal tension glaucoma was included in this study.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A modified sleep mask and a modified eyepatch with incorporated coil antennae were used for nighttime and daytime measurements, respectively.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Automated IOP measurements were performed with 5 min intervals over a period of five consecutive days.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The mean IOP, standard deviation, and range of readings were calculated for three sequences of 24 h IOP measurements.
