Description
Yumin Dai leads a long author list in 2026 on a soft contact lens that watches eye pressure through the night. Pressure inside the eye often rises during sleep, when clinic checks cannot see it. That blind spot matters for glaucoma, a disease of slow vision loss.
A flexible circuit built into a standard soft lens bends with the eye and turns pressure shifts into readable signals. The team reports the highest sensitivity yet for such a lens, with steady readings while wearers lie flat with eyes closed. Trials in rabbits and dogs, plus pilot wear by healthy and glaucoma patients, showed the lens was tolerated and could track posture-linked pressure rises. Home night monitoring is the goal.
