Abstract:
1. An IOP control device for implantation in an eye of a patient, comprising: a housing sized for implantation into the eye of the patient and including an entrance port and an exit port; a membrane anchored within the housing in a manner forming a flow control chamber on a first side of the membrane and a fluid flow passageway on a second opposing side of the membrane, the flow control chamber including a flow control chamber pressure and the fluid flow passageway including a fluid flow passageway pressure, the membrane configured to affect flow through the fluid flow passageway from the entrance port to the exit port by deflecting in response to pressure differentials of the flow control chamber pressure and the fluid flow channel pressure acting on the opposing sides of the membrane; and a position sensor system configured to detect the position of the membrane including:
