Claim 31:
32. Intraocular pressure monitoring system comprising:
an intraocular pressure measuring device (1) including: a contact lens (10) presenting an inner surface (101) and an outer surface (102), and
a pressure sensor (2) united with said contact lens (10) and located such that the pressure sensor is applied directly against an eye (8) of a user for sensing the intraocular pressure (IOP) of said eye (8) when said contact lens (10) is worn by said user,
characterized in that said contact lens (10) comprises a first portion (11) and a second portion (12), said second portion (12) being adapted to at least partially rigidify a central portion of the inner surface (101) of said contact lens (10) so as to maintain said rigidified inner surface (101) with a curvature radius adapted to flatten at least a portion of the eye surface in contact with the pressure sensor (2) so as to reach a pressure equilibrium around the pressure sensor (2) when said contact lens (10) is worn by said user;
a portable recording device (6) configured for communicating with said pressure measuring (1) and for storing data received from said intraocular pressure measuring and/or monitoring device (1); and
a computing device (7) configured for communicating with said portable recording device (6) for receiving and/or processing and/or storing data received from said portable recording device (6).
