摘要

A Device which enables a person to see for himself changes in Intra Ocular Pressure when he looks at his eye in the Mirror, in the routine course of everyday, as every one likes to see his Own face and eyes in the Mirror everyday. The device being Tiny and inserted surgically with minimum incision between Iris and Cornea, enables early indication of IOP in people with high risk of Glaucoma due to high blood pressure and genetic reasons and old age, the early indication enabling timely treatment before retinal damage. The device works on pattern changes due to pressure change which is compared with fixed background pattern and changes in spacing between lines of Diffraction grating and Hologram leading to colour changes due to interference effect of light. Mirror with an area of concave surface and Magnifying device along with comparison Chart enables proper monitoring of drug efficacy.
