Summary

This study tests a modified soft contact lens that measures pressure inside the skull in newborns and infants at risk for hydrocephalus (fluid buildup in the brain). Researchers want to see if the lens can tell the difference between babies with and without the condition, and track pressure changes before and after surgery. About 25 participants will wear the lens during routine checks, with no invasive procedures involved.
