A tonometer sensor (10) for disposition in proximity of a surface of an eye is disclosed comprising: a substrate (12) including: a contact surface (14) for making contact with the surface portion of the eye, the contact surface (14) including an outer non-compliant region (16) and an inner compliant region (18) fabricated as an impedance as said inner region (18) changes shape; a first region of material responsive to a non-invasive external force to press the contact surface against the surface portion of the eye and cause the compliant region (18) to change shape in proportion to an intraocular pressure of the eye; and a second region of conductive material (38) electrically coupled to the impedance element of the compliant region and responsive to an external signal for energizing the impedance element so that the intraocular pressure may be determined.

L'invention concerne un capteur (10) de tonomètre à installer à proximité d'une surface d'un oeil. Ce capteur comprend un substrat (12) dont une surface de contact (14) établit un contact avec la portion superficielle de l'oeil, ladite surface de contact (14) présentant une région extérieure non adaptative (16) et une région intérieure adaptative (18) conçue comme un élément d'impédance lorsque ladite région intérieure (18) change de forme. Ce substrat comprend également une première région de matière réactive à une force externe non invasive qui presse cette surface de contact contre la portion superficielle de l'oeil et entraîne la région adaptative (18) à changer de forme proportionnellement à la pression intraoculaire de l'oeil, et une seconde région de matière conductrice (38) reliée électriquement à l'élément d'impédance de la région adaptative et réactive à un signal externe alimentant cet élément d'impédance, de sorte que la pression intraoculaire peut être déterminée.
