A theranostic smart CL for management of glaucoma is as follows: (a) The theranostic smart CL is depicted, showcasing its structure that includes a fully integrated IOP sensor based on gold hollow nanowires (AuHNW), a DDS, and wireless circuits. This integrated system enables wireless glaucoma treatments with a feedback mechanism for IOP sensing and controlled release of timolol. (b) A schematic representation compares the conventional continuous IOP monitoring with the IOP control achieved through IOP monitoring and on-demand drug delivery. This approach allows for glaucoma management [96]
