Eyemate is intended for patients with glaucoma and some other eye diseases at which regular dimension of intraocular pressure is required. Usually measurements are executed by the oculist using a portable tonometer of intraocular pressure. Because of need of a visit of the patient to the doctor measurements are performed too seldom that complicates right assessment of a status of the patient as indications of intraocular pressure can significantly change even within one day.

Development of Implandata allows patients to measure independently intraocular pressure in any time, convenient for them, and practically in any situation.

Eyemate represents the system consisting of the microsensor implanted in an eye which is responsible for measurement of intraocular pressure and also an external portable device for reading of indications of the sensor.

Using the external gadget equipped with the GSM module, results of the patient are loaded into the database on the Internet from where the doctor-oculist can browse measurements.

According to information on the website of the producer, Implandata already develops mobile application for the smartphone which will allow also patients to browse the profile and the history of measurements and also to keep in contact with the doctor.^[2]

Further the extensive program for assessment of a system within which doctors also intend to test implantation of the sensor through a smaller cut is planned, than it is provided at standard transaction.
