Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring the intraocular pressure of an eye in a human. The methods include directing an acoustic incident wave at the surface of the eye to generate a reflected wave, measuring the coefficient of reflection of the incident and reflected waves, and determining the intraocular pressure of the eye from the coefficient of reflection. Also disclosed are methods of diagnosing glaucoma and/or intraocular hypertension.

Abstract: A method of forming an ophthalmic contact lens may include the steps of preparing a first resin mixture including HEMA, PEGDA and a photoinitiator, preparing a second resin mixture including HEMA, PEGDA, a photoinitiator, and a pH sensitive dye, forming a first layer of the contact lens using an additive manufacturing apparatus by dispensing and curing the first resin mixture, and forming a second layer of the contact lens onto the first layer using the additive manufacturing apparatus by dispensing and curing the dispensed second resin mixture onto an outer surface of the first layer. A ratio of HEMA to PEGDA is higher in the second resin mixture than the first resin mixture and a volume of photoinitiator in the second resin mixture is less than the is less than a volume of photoinitiator in the second resin mixture. An ophthalmic contact lens configured to treat CVD is also provided.
