IOP is a key physiological marker that helps determine glaucoma risk and chances for disease progression. Injectsense's iOP-Connect™ implantable sensor offers doctors the unprecedented ability to see a patient's continuous diurnal IOP activity over decades -- without patient intervention. The measurements enable physicians to determine whether there have been pressure excursions outside of the patient's normal baseline and whether the patients are in an unstable or progressing state of glaucoma. These insights will make it possible to manage therapy effectiveness.
