Abstract
The present invention relates to an intraocular pressure measuring and/or monitoring device () comprising a contact lens () presenting an inner surface () and an outer surface (), and a pressure sensor () united with said contact lens () and located such that it is applied against an eye () of a user for sensing the intraocular pressure (IOP) of said eye () when said contact lens () is worn by said user, characterized in that said contact lens () comprises a soft portion () and a rigid portion (), said rigid portion () being adapted to at least partially rigidify a central portion of the inner surface () of said contact lens () so as to maintain said rigidified inner surface () with a curvature radius adapted to flatten at least a portion of the eye surface in contact with the pressure sensor () so as to reach a pressure equilibrium around the pressure sensor () when said contact lens () is worn by said user.
