  4. Devers Eye Institute Portland, Oregon • Dr. Downs created an implantable IOP transducer system • Measures IOP a minimum of 500 times per second • Around the clock, for as long as two years • Sensor Adaptation of a commercial system used for drug safety studies in cardiovascular applications • Implanted in nonhuman primates so far EyeNet June 2011

Crawford Downs, PhD A: Photograph of a typical T30F total implant system showing the battery/transmitter module, radio frequency (RF) ring antenna for on/off, transmission antenna, a pressure transducer, and two ECG electrodes plus ground B: Photograph of the extra-orbital surface of our custom IOP transducer housing that is secured within a ¼-inch hole in the lateral orbital wall with bone screws C: A 23-gauge silicone tube delivers aqueous from the anterior chamber to a fluid reservoir on the intraorbital side of the transducer (partially hidden from view in B); The tube (with appropriate slack to allow for eye movement) is trimmed, inserted into the anterior chamber, sutured to the sclera using theintegral scleral tube anchor plate, and covered with a scleral patchgraft (not shown) Downs et al.: Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci.2011;52:7365–7375

  7. Comments from J. Crawford Downs, PhD • IOP goes up 4-12 mmHg every time you blink or move your eyes • IOP spikes are higher in stiffer eyes and at higher basal IOP’s • IOP is extremely variable throughout the day on the second-to-second, minute-to-minute, and hour-to-hour timescales • IOP shows diurnal variation, although the pattern is NOT repeatable from day-to-day • In light of these data, one wonders whether snapshot IOP measurements in the clinic are reflective of true IOP on any timescale
