Effect of optical aberrations on intraocular pressure measurements using a microscale optical implant in ex vivo rabbit eyes

Le résumé fourni par la source

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable major risk factor of glaucoma. Recently, accurate and continuous IOP monitoring has been demonstrated in vivo using an implantable sensor based on optical resonance with remote optical readout to improve patient outcomes. Here, we investigate the relationship between optical aberrations of ex vivo rabbit eyes and the performance of the IOP sensor using a custom-built setup integrated with a Shack-Hartmann sensor. The sensor readouts became less accurate as the aberrations increased in magnitude, but they remained within the clinically acceptable range. For root-mean-square wavefront errors of 0.10 to 0.94 μm, the accuracy and the signal-to-noise ratio were 0.58 ± 0.32 mm Hg and 15.57 ± 4.85 dB, respectively.
