Abstract
Flush-fitting, silastic gel contact lenses instrumented with strain gauges have been used to measure changes in the meridional angle of the corneoscleral junction of a rabbit due to variation in intraocular pressure. Output from these strain gauges appears to be well defined and the sufficient magnitude to drive a miniature telemetry package which could be used to continuously monitor intraocular pressure without changing the pressure level due to the measurement itself.
