Abstract

Flexible bioelectronic devices that can perform real-time and accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring in both clinical and home settings hold significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma, yet they face challenges due to the open physiological environment of the ocular. Herein, we develop an intelligent wireless measuring contact lens (WMCL) incorporating a dual inductor−capacitor−resistor (LCR) resonant system to achieve temperature self-compensation for quantitative IOP monitoring in different application environments. The WMCL utilizes a compact circuitry design, which enables the integration of low-frequency and high-frequency resonators within a single layer of a sensing circuit without causing visual impairment. Mechanically guided microscale 3D encapsulation strategy combined with flexible circuit printing techniques achieves the surface-adaptive fabrication of the WMCL. The specific design of frequency separation imparts distinct temperature response characteristics to the dual resonators, and the linear combination of the dual resonators can eliminate the impact of temperature variations on measurement accuracy. The WMCL demonstrates outstanding sensitivity and linearity in monitoring the IOP of porcine eyes in vitro while maintaining satisfactory measurement accuracy even with internal temperature variations exceeding 10 °C. Overcoming the impact of temperature variations on IOP monitoring from the system level, the WMCL showcases immense potential as the next generation of all-weather IOP monitoring devices.
