We previously reported on the SENSIMED Triggerfish – a contact lens-based device intended to continuously record the timing of relative changes in IOP for up to 24 hours [1].

The device has already been approved in Europe, and now SENSIMED is now recruiting participants with a diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) for a study in San Diego to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Triggerfish® (TF) device in continuous recording of relative fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP).
