Intraocular physiological sensor

1 . An implantable intraocular physiological measurement device comprising:

a housing;

a sensor portion configured to be coupled with a first end of the housing with a moisture barrier seal, the sensor portion comprising a sensing module configured to measure a physiological characteristic of an organism;

a plurality of electrical components within the housing mounted on a carrier member at spaced apart intervals, wherein the sensor portion comprises a cutout configured to physically mate with one end of the carrier member; and

a spiraled antenna that is disposed within an interior of the housing, wherein the spiraled antenna spirals around the carrier member,

wherein the implantable intraocular physiological measurement device is configured to be anchored to an anatomical feature of a human eye,

wherein the carrier member includes a square or rectangular cross-sectional shape, and

wherein the sensor portion further comprises one or more feedthrough conductors formed through a body of the sensor portion extending from the sensing module to the cutout of the sensor portion, wherein the feedthrough conductors electrically connect the carrier member to the sensing module when the one end of the carrier member is physically mated with the cutout.

2 . The implantable intraocular physiological measurement device of claim 1 , further comprising a tip cap configured to be coupled with a second end of the housing with a moisture barrier seal.

3 . The implantable intraocular physiological measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the moisture barrier seal comprises one or more O-rings at an interior junction between the housing and the sensor portion.

4 . The implantable intraocular physiological measurement device of claim 1 , wherein the moisture barrier seal comprises material applied at an exterior junction between the housing and the sensor portion.
