Abstract
This paper will introduce an approach to finding a novel design for an implantable intraocular pressure sensor. Such a device is needed for detection and monitoring to prevent blindness from resulting in potential glaucoma patients. The pressure sensor will be fabricated with the use of silicon micromachining technology and designed to be to be embedded within the eye.
