a contact lens configured to be positioned on an exterior surface of a mammalian eye and comprising at least one electrode configured to be positioned adjacent to a ciliary body of the mammalian eye when the contact lens is positioned on the exterior surface of the mammalian eye; and
a sensor disposed inside the contact lens; and
a stimulation signal source coupled to the contact lens and configured to provide a pulsed electrical signal to the electrode when positioned adjacent to the mammalian eye, wherein the pulsed electrical signal causes a reduction in an intraocular pressure within an anterior chamber of the mammalian eye;
wherein the sensor is coupled to the stimulation signal source and the stimulation signal source provides the pulsed electrical signal to the at least one electrode in response to a signal received from the sensor.
