Dr. Kaweh Mansouri takes an in-depth look into the Triggerfish contact lens (Sensimed AG). Approved by the FDA in 2016, the device is capable of recording continuous eye pressure changes over the course of 24 hours. Dr. Mansouri cautions that the Triggerfish measurements reflect a composite of IOP, volume changes, and biomechanical properties of the eye. Future studies are required to assess whether the device can reliably detect glaucoma progression and which patients could benefit the most.
