摘要
A microfluidic strain sensing device for monitoring intraocular pressure. The device has a contact lens and a closed microfluidic network embedded with the contact lens. The network has a volume that is sensitive to an applied strain. The network distinguishes: (i) a gas reservoir containing a gas, (ii) a liquid reservoir containing a liquid that changes volume when the strain is applied, and (iii) a sensing channel able to hold the liquid within the sensing channel. The sensing channel connects the gas reservoir on one end and connects the liquid reservoir on another end. The sensing channel establishes a liquid-gas equilibrium pressure interface and equilibrium within the sensing channel, which would fluidically change as a response to radius of curvature variations on a cornea, or as a response to mechanical stretching and release of the cornea. The liquid-gas equilibrium pressure interface and equilibrium are used for measuring the intraocular pressure.
