Wireless intraocular pressure monitoring device, and detecting module thereof

A wireless intraocular pressure monitoring device comprising:

• a reflecting module including
• a soft contact lens for wearing on a cornea such that a curvature of said soft contact lens corresponds substantially to that of the cornea, and
• a metal layer embedded in said soft contact lens and deformable together with said soft contact lens when said soft contact lens is worn on the cornea;
• and
• a detecting module including
• first and second waveguides,
• an oscillator coupled to said first and second waveguides and operable to generate first and second oscillation signals that are substantially 180° out-of-phase, that are fed to said first and second waveguides respectively, and that have a frequency dependent on an equivalent impedance of said first and second waveguides, one of said first and second waveguides wirelessly transmitting an electromagnetic wave for reflection by said metal layer of said reflecting module, the other one of said first and second waveguides wirelessly receiving the electromagnetic wave reflected by said metal layer, the equivalent impedance of said first and second waveguides varying according to the electromagnetic wave reflected by and received from said reflecting module such that the equivalent impedance of said first and second waveguides further corresponds to intraocular pressure when said soft contact lens is worn on the cornea, and
• a converting unit coupled to said oscillator and operable for receiving at least one of the first and second oscillation signals and for converting the frequency of the at least one of the first and second oscillation signals into an output signal corresponding to the intraocular pressure.
