Continuous control of intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial to preventing long-term damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma. Recently, a novel telemetric IOP sensor (EYEMATE-IO™, Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH, Hannover, Germany) has been developed that continuously records IOP. The patient can read the IOP measurements wirelessly using a hand-held reading device. We present the case of a 70-year-old patient with primary open-angle glaucoma who had been implanted with an EYEMATE-IO™ and recently underwent minimally invasive bleb-filtering surgery with the PreserFlo MicroShunt (Santen, Osaka, Japan). This case demonstrates both the benefits of continuous pressure measurement with EYEMATE-IO™ and the ability of the PreserFlo MicroShunt to significantly reduce IOP fluctuations.
持续控制眼压（IOP）对于预防青光眼患者视神经的长期损伤至关重要。最近，一种新型遥测眼压传感器（EYEMATE-IO™，德国汉诺威Implandata眼科产品有限公司）已被开发出来，可连续记录眼压。患者可以使用手持读取设备无线读取眼压测量值。我们报告一例70岁原发性开角型青光眼患者，该患者已植入EYEMATE-IO™，最近接受了PreserFlo微型分流器（日本大阪参天公司）的微创滤过泡手术。本病例既展示了使用EYEMATE-IO™进行连续眼压测量的益处，也展示了PreserFlo微型分流器显著降低眼压波动的能力。
