Ocular sensor for the detection of an analyte in eye water
First Claim
1. An ocular sensor for verification of at least one analyte in an eye fluid, with the ocular sensor having at least one sensor material, with the sensor material being designed to change at least one optical characteristic in the presence of the at least one analyte, with the ocular sensor also having at least one sensor chip, with the sensor chip having at least one integrated optical detector for verification of the optical characteristic, with the ocular sensor having a carrier material, with the sensor chip being embedded in the carrier material and with the sensor chip being in direct contact with the carrier material, and with the sensor material being entirely or partially contained in the carrier material, with the carrier material comprising a material which is at least partially permeable for the analyte, and with the sensor material being contained in the carrier material in at least one of the following manners:
- the sensor material is mixed into the carrier material;
the sensor material is dissolved in the carrier material;
the sensor material is entirely or partially a component of the carrier material; and
the sensor material is implemented in microcapsules.

Abstract
An ocular sensor (110) is proposed for verification of at least one analyte in an eye fluid. The ocular sensor (110) is composed of at least one sensor material which is designed to change at least one optical characteristic in the presence of the at least one analyte. Furthermore, the ocular sensor (110) comprises at least one sensor chip which has at least one integrated optical detector (122) for verification of the optical characteristic. A measurement system (166) is also proposed for verification of at least one analyte in an eye fluid, which measurement system (166) comprises an ocular sensor (110) according to the invention as well as an evaluation unit (168) which is designed to interchange information with the sensor chip (118).
