Utilization of a contact device placed on the eye in order to detect
physical and chemical parameters of the body as well as the non-invasive delivery
of compounds according to these physical and chemical parameters, with signals
being transmitted continuously as electromagnetic waves, radio waves, infrared
and the like. One of the parameters to be detected includes non-invasive blood
analysis utilizing chemical changes and chemical products that are found in the
conjunctiva and in the tear film. A transensor mounted in the contact device laying
on the cornea or the surface of the eye is capable of evaluating and measuring
physical and chemical parameters in the eye including non-invasive blood analysis.
The system utilizes eye lid motion and/or closure of the eye lid to activate a
microminiature radio frequency sensitive transensor mounted in the contact device.
The signal can be communicated by wires or radio telemetered to an externally placed
receiver. The signal can then be processed, analyzed and stored. Several parameters
can be detected including a complete non-invasive analysis of blood components,
measurement of systemic and ocular blood flow, measurement of heart rate and respiratory
rate, tracking operations, detection of ovulation, detection of radiation and drug
effects, diagnosis of ocular and systemic disorders and the like.
