Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | Switzerland: Swissmedic |
Study type | Observational |
This study monitors the intraocular pressure (IOP) over 4 to 6 hours using the SENSIMED Triggerfish® device and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) in pigment dispersion syndrome and pigmentary glaucoma patients. The aim of the study is to detect SENSIMED Triggerfish® output signal peak after induced fluctuation by physical exercise or pupil dilation.
