24-Hour eye pressure monitor: a contact lens that never blinks
NCT ID NCT04024293
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new smart contact lens that measures eye pressure continuously for 24 hours, compared to standard spot checks. It involves 12 adults with glaucoma or high eye pressure. The goal is to see if the lens provides accurate readings day and night, which could lead to better disease management.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Goldfish (GF) sensing contact lens
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a more comfortable, continuous way to monitor eye pressure day and night, helping doctors better manage glaucoma.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study with only 12 participants. The device may not be as accurate as standard methods, and wearing a contact lens for 24 hours may cause discomfort or side effects.
