1. An implant for determining the pressure of the aqueous humour in an eye, comprising:

  • a. a supporting body, b. a pressure sensor unit (5;

    5

    ) arranged on said supporting body and comprising a first pressure sensor element (15;

    15

    ) for measuring the pressure of the aqueous humour and for generating first pressure sensor data, c. a data processing unit (23) arranged on said supporting body and connected to said pressure sensor unit (5;

    5

    ) in a data-transmitting manner for generating first transmission data, and d. a transmitting and receiving unit arranged on said supporting body and connected to said data processing unit (23) in a data-transmitting manner for transmitting said first transmission data to and for receiving second transmission data from a second transmitting and receiving unit arranged outside the eye, characterized in that e. said pressure sensor unit (5;

    5

    ) comprises a second pressure sensor element (14;

    14

    ) for measuring the ambient pressure and for generating second pressure sensor data.
