摘要：
A system for determination of intraocular pressure includes: an intraocular pressure sensor； a light source illuminating the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light； and a detector that measures emitted light from the sensor. The sensor includes a substrate member, a spacer member, and a flexible membrane, which define a sealed cavity. The flexible membrane moves in response to intraocular pressure changes. A device for measuring intraocular pressure includes: the sensor； an anchoring member attached to the sensor for immobilizing the sensor in an eye； and a protective member attached to the anchoring member and covering the sensor to prevent contact between the flexible membrane and the eye. A method for determination of intraocular pressure includes: placing the sensor in an eye； illuminating, with a light source, the sensor with one or more wavelengths of light； and detecting, with a detector, a resultant light that contains information about intraocular pressure.
