In Eyemate 2, eyes wore OPAP for 8 hours of continuous NP application set to 50% of the eye\u2019s baseline IOP vs no NP in the fellow control eye. In both studies, IOP was measured in real time using the implanted eyemate-IO device. The primary effectiveness endpoint in both studies was the change from baseline IOP in the study eye, as measured with eyemate-IO.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All seven study eyes demonstrated immediate and sustained reductions in IOP during NP application. In Eyemate 1, three study eyes had individual mean steady-state IOP reductions of 31%, 51%, and 23% from baseline. In Eyemate 2, four study eyes had a mean 8-hour IOP reduction of 20% from baseline. All patients tolerated goggle wear and NP application.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These studies provided early proof-of-concept evidence that NP application to the periocular space lowers IOP, as measured by an implanted intraocular sensor, and was well tolerated over short-term use. Given the small, uncontrolled or open-label designs, these findings are hypothesis-generating; larger, controlled studies are required to confirm efficacy and characterize safety.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fopht.2026.1887910","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,27]],"date-time":"2026-07-27T04:25:31Z","timestamp":1785126331000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Application of negative pressure to the periocular microenvironment to lower IOP in patients implanted with telemetric IOP sensor: report of two early studies of the FSYX ocular pressure adjusting pump"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Michael D.","family":"Greenwood","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vance Thompson Vision","place":["Sioux Falls, SD, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tanner J.","family":"Ferguson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vance Thompson Vision","place":["Sioux Falls, SD, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Choritz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Eye Clinic","place":["Magdeburg, Germany"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas W.","family":"Samuelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minnesota Eye Consultants","place":["Minneapolis, MN, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jamie J.","family":"Beckman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"EyeCare Partners","place":["Dearborn, MI, United States"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
