1. A method for measuring intraocular pressure of a patient, the method comprising:

  • generating a signal with an instrument external to the patient for remotely energizing an in vivo sensor;

    measuring interaction between the signal produced by the instrument and the sensor;

    correlating the interaction with intraocular pressure;

    recording the correlated intraocular pressure;

    wherein the instrument generates a signal at varied intervals; and

    wherein the interval decreases as a rate of change of intraocular pressure increases.
