(A) Photograph of a typical T30F total implant system showing the battery/transmitter module, radio frequency ring antenna for on/off, transmission antenna, a pressure transducer, and two ECG electrodes plus ground; (B) Photograph of the extra-orbital surface of our custom IOP transducer housing that is secured within a ¼-inch hole in the lateral orbital wall with bone screws as shown in (C) A 23-gauge silicone tube delivers aqueous from the anterior chamber to a fluid reservoir on the intra-orbital side of the transducer (partially hidden from view in B); The tube (with appropriate slack to allow for eye movement) is trimmed, inserted into the anterior chamber, sutured to the sclera using the integral scleral tube anchor plate, and covered with a scleral patchgraft (not shown).
