Implandata Ophthalmic Products GmbH (Implandata) and Professor Peter Szurman, Head of “Section Experimental Ophthalmic Surgery” at Eye Hospital of University Tübingen, have started pre-clinical studies for the first implantable, permanent extraocular sensor, measuring intraocular pressure. The primary objective of the study is to show proof of concept and to demonstrate product and procedure safety. It is expected that the studies will provide additional design input, before early feasibility studies are started at human patients.
