a microstructure disposed in or on the lens, including two or more markers disposed in a spaced relationship on the lens, a distance between the two or more markers being related to a curvature of the lens;
wherein the lens is adapted to change curvature in response to a change in IOP;
wherein the distance between the two or more markers changes according to the change in curvature of the lens;
wherein the change in distance between the two or more markers is detectable in digital images of the lens, or of a part of the lens, and indicates a change in IOP.
