Summary

This study tested a new smart contact lens called miLens that records eye pressure patterns over 24 hours in 86 adults with glaucoma and healthy volunteers. Participants wore the lens in one eye and took smartphone readings every 15 minutes while awake. Researchers compared the lens data to standard office-based eye pressure measurements to see if the device is safe and reliable.
