FLUIDICS CONTROL VIA WIRELESS TELEMETRY

摘要

In various embodiments, a pressure sensor may be configured to detect pressure information associated with pressure in an eye during an ophthalmic surgical procedure. The pressure information may be wirelessly communicated, through a transmitter (103) coupled to the pressure sensor (101), to a receiver communicatively coupled to a surgical console. The receiver (105) may provide the received pressure information to the surgical console (111) to use in controlling pressure at a surgical site during the surgical procedure. For example, controlling the pressure may include maintaining a desired IOL pressure level within the surgical site at the eye. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor may include a strain gage coupled to a contact lens or a sleeve of an ocular surgical handpiece. Other pressure sensor configurations are also contemplated.
