欧洲也有一款类似的可以随时测量眼压的设备,名叫Sensimed Triggerfish。不过这款接触式镜片传感器并非直接测量眼压,导致测量结果精确度不高。另外根据《眼科学报》(Arch of Ophthalmol)2017年的一份研究显示,它会导致80%的患者出现视觉模糊和其它负作用。
Iwach said the lack of a reliable device to measure pressure in the American market has prompted a competition of sorts with at least five companies vying to be the first to get a device inserted into the eye, which transmits an electronic signal out onto the American market.
伊瓦施指出,由于美国市场缺乏一款可以测量眼压的可靠设备,现在至少有五家以上的公司都在这个领域进行竞争,他们都希望能第一个在美国市场上推出植入式眼压测量设备。
“This is an exciting a horse race,” Iwach said. “Different camps realize the first to market, the one who figures out how to do this best, is going to potentially revolutionize how we manage glaucoma and ultimately patients will be better for it.”
伊瓦施表示:“这是一场令人兴奋的竞争。大家都意识到,第一个进入市场、第一个知道怎样最好地测量眼压的公司,可能会给青光眼的治疗带来革命性的效果,而且最终会造福患者。”
While showing promise to be the first, the latest device still is several years away from being commercially feasible. It has only been tested in pigs so the next step, Mandel said, is to do further research to ensure the device is safe in humans and can remain in the eye for an extended period of time.
