Résumé
Glaucoma is an ocular pathology usually associated with an increase in Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP). In this study, we are developing disposable eye lenses including a specific micro fabricated pressure sensor to measure IOP all day long. The information data will be wireless transferred via magnetic coupling to an external receiver. Our first work deals with the sensor design and fabrication. Simulation results based on classical electronic circuit tools will be presented and lead to several sensor solutions working at different RF frequencies. The fabrication process of the first sensors will also be described and an early IOP characterisation set-up will be presented to try to later quantify the sensor sensitivity, with IOP variations measured in the range 20 to 70mmHg.
