Use of an Ocular Telemetry Sensor in Diamox Treated Patients

Detection of IOP Fluctuation With SENSIMED Triggerfish in Patients With Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension Treated With Diamox

A soft contact lens integrating a Sensor is placed on subjects with high intraocular pressure (IOP) after administration of an IOP-lowering drug to investigate the device's capacity to detect the induced IOP reduction.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Confirmed diagnosis of glaucoma or ocular hypertension
• IOP of ≥ 15 mmHg.
• Patients of either gender.
• Older than 18 years.
• Patients who accept signing an informed consent approved by the Ethics Committee.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients not able to understand the nature of the research
• Patients under tutorship
• Corneal abnormalities in both eyes
• Subjects with contraindications for wearing contact lenses
• History of ocular surgery within the last 3 months
• Known hypersensitivity to Diamox® or to any of its excipients
• Pregnancy and lactation
• Simultaneous participation in other clinical research
• Patients with evidence of ocular infection or inflammation
• History of renal or hepatic impairment, hypokalemia and hyponatremia
