A System And Method To Measure Intraocular Pressure Using Laser Speckle Imaging

Brief Description

A novel non-invasive method to measure intraocular pressure (IOP), offering a significant advancement in glaucoma management.

Full Description

Researchers at UCI have developed a novel technology that utilizes laser speckle imaging to non-invasively measure intraocular pressure. Designed for clinical use, it provides an easily repeatable, accurate method for monitoring IOP, crucial for effective glaucoma management and postoperative care.

Suggested uses

• Regular IOP monitoring for glaucoma management in clinical settings.
• Postoperative care for glaucoma surgery patients, providing early success indicators and reducing clinic visits.
• Research tool for further understanding the dynamics of intraocular pressure and eye health.

Advantages

• Non-invasive, enhancing patient comfort and safety.
• Enables frequent and flexible IOP monitoring, overcoming the limitations of current measurement methods.
• Provides accurate and natural state IOP readings without the interference of artificial pressures.
• Simplifies operation and increases patient throughput in clinical settings.
• Cost-efficient, utilizing readily available optical components for laser speckle imaging.
