This project presents that the glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness and is most accurately defined as a collection of diseases that have in common, damage to the optic nerve and loss of visual field with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) being the primary risk factor. Though there are treatments available, there is a requirement to develop improved diagnostic and therapeutic techniques to overcome this disease. A continuous intraocular pressure measurement during the patients’ routine daily activity can provide a valuable insight. Here microcontroller is used to convert the analog signal to digital and which the sensor output through which the pressure of the eye is measured continuously and the monitored data can be send via wireless technology through ZigBee. The transmitted data can be viewed by the doctors through PC were it is received by the ZigBee transceiver.
