Polarimetric methods for measurement of intra ocular glucose concentration.
Due to the increasing lifespan in the industrialized world the number of senior Diabetes patients is growing rapidly. Using non-invasive techniques, measurements of the blood sugar level could be done more frequently and hence diagnosis as well as therapy of type II Diabetes Mellitus can be improved especially for this group of senior patients. Especially polarimetric techniques measuring at the human eye offer promising properties for non-invasive and painless measurement. This article discusses different approaches for utilizing the polarizing properties of the Aqueous Humour (AH) for quantitative glucose measurements.
