A large fluctuation in intraocular pressure (IOP) and a high peak IOP remain the risk factors for progressive visual field loss in patients with glaucoma, which is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. However, IOP measurements during working time cannot provide sufficient information on IOP to guide clinicians in setting IOP target values. Contact lenses are extensively used in ophthalmology to correct the refractive error, and recently, they are serving as platforms for detection and drug delivery. Contact lens sensor (CLS) is a feasible and promising approach to continuously monitor IOP, with superior tolerance, non-invasiveness, and without sleep disturbance. The present work reviewed the associations between progressive course and Triggerfish® CLS outputs as well as the relationship between treatments and Triggerfish® CLS outputs. Moreover, it further summarized state-of-the-art CLS devices of the past decade.
