Recently, on the European market, the contact lenses allowing for a 24-hour continuous measurement of intraocular pressure - Triggerfish, became available. They are designed for the diagnostics of glaucoma in adult patients. This is a unique method that allows for continuous recording of intraocular pressure, giving almost 300 readings during 24 hours.
Aim of the project is to use this new diagnostic instrument in children and evaluate clinical usefulness of the new method in glaucoma diagnostics. It also seeks to familiarize readers with new diagnostic possibilities that telesensoric contact lenses provide.
The "Triggerfish" silicone contact lenses were used in the study in order to perform a continuous, 24-hour measurement of the intraocular pressure. A diagnostic test kit consists of a contact lens with imbedded microchip with transceiver loop, adhesive antenna to affix around the patients eye and the recorder connected to the antenna by a cable. The measurements were performed in two patients at the age of 12 and 14.
In both cases the graphs of 24-hour intraocular pressure recordings were obtained allowing for detection of the pathological features of the intraocular pressure. Patients reported no discomfort during the study. No adverse events were observed.
Examination techniques using ocular telemetry sensors may be an alternative to conventional methods and throwing new light on the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
最近，在欧洲市场上，一种能够连续24小时测量眼压的隐形眼镜——Triggerfish上市了。它们专为成年青光眼患者的诊断设计。这是一种独特的方法，可连续记录眼压，在24小时内可获得近300次读数。
该项目的目的是在儿童中使用这种新的诊断仪器，并评估这种新方法在青光眼诊断中的临床实用性。它还旨在让读者熟悉遥测隐形眼镜提供的新诊断可能性。
在研究中使用了“Triggerfish”硅水凝胶隐形眼镜，以进行连续24小时的眼压测量。诊断测试套件包括一个嵌入带有收发器回路的微芯片的隐形眼镜、一个贴在患者眼睛周围的粘性天线以及通过电缆连接到天线的记录器。测量在两名12岁和14岁的患者中进行。
在这两个病例中均获得了24小时眼压记录图，从而能够检测眼压的病理特征。患者在研究过程中未报告不适。未观察到不良事件。
使用眼部遥测传感器的检查技术可能是传统方法的一种替代方法，并为青光眼的诊断和治疗带来新的思路。
