Sensimed signs Japanese manufacturer to bring diagnostic contact lens into Asia

Swiss contact lens development company Sensimed is joining forces with SEED, a Japanese manufacturer, to bring its FDA-approved Triggerfish glaucoma lens to that country’s market. The companies are devoting 10 million Swiss francs ($10.1 million) to support Japanese registration and further tests.

Sensimed’s Triggerfish is a soft contact lens with an embedded microsensor that captures eye measurements and intraocular pressure over a 24-hour period and relays the data via Bluetooth to related computer software. The technology gained FDA approval in March.
