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.
