Eyes on the Future: Noninvasive Micro- Electromechanical Systems Revolutionizing

Abstract

This study evaluates the prevalence of glaucoma in the developing world and explores the potential of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) to treat the disease. Glaucoma’s main cause, intraocular pressure (IOP), is brought on by the aqueous humour fluid’s improper outflow. As a result, the lens and retina sustain irreversible damage that renders a person permanently blind. It is common in places where access to and penetration of high-income communities are beyond the scope of standard medicine and ophthalmology care. To assess the pressure, techniques including palpitations, manometry, and telemetry have been employed. They need a personal commitment to routine checkups and are obtrusive. MEMS, however, have a chance to provide less obtrusive and extremely effective IOP measurement and reporting systems. The use of contact lenses with on-chip sensors devices makes it simple to measure IOP and to continuously update an external device on changes. Since the instrument enables self-reporting of the state, the patient can simply monitor this gadget. As a result, it can be employed in places where ophthalmologic care is urgently needed yet poor on accessibility and penetration. Additionally, it uses current mobile and internet connection technology directly, which makes it practical for use.
