Abstract :
The paper reports about the work of the engineers from the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, described their work on a cubic-millimeter size sensor meant to monitor pressure inside the eye. The researchers have yet to test the device in human eyes or animal ones, but they hope their system will one day thwart optic nerve damage brought on by glaucoma.
