Summary

This study tests a modified smart contact lens in 25 babies to see if it can non-invasively measure pressure inside the skull (intracranial pressure). The goal is to help detect and manage hydrocephalus, a condition where fluid builds up in the brain. Researchers will compare the lens readings to standard checks like head measurements and, when needed, readings from medical devices placed in the brain.
