Intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude using dynamic contour tonometry and contact lens tonometry [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2004 Background The new Ocular Dynamic Contour Tonometer (DCT), investigational device supplied by SMT (Swiss Microtechnology AG, Switzerland) allows simultaneous recording of intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA). It was the aim of this

A mechanical model of ocular bulb vibrations and implications for acoustic tonometry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 In this study, we propose a comprehensive mechanical model of ocular bulb vibrations and discuss its implications for acoustic tonometry. The model describes the eye wall as a spherical, pre-stressed elastic shell containing a viscoelastic material and ...

Non-Invasive Ocular Rigidity Measurement: A Differential Tonometry Approach [PDF]
Acta Medica, 2015 Purpose: Taking into account the fact that Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) geometrically deforms the corneal apex and displaces volume from the anterior segment whereas Dynamic Contour Tonometry (DCT) does not, we aimed at developing an algorithm ...

Ocular Pulse Amplitude in Healthy Subjects as Measured by Dynamic Contour Tonometry [PDF]
JAMA Ophthalmology, 2006 To test whether dynamic contour tonometry yields ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) measurements that are independent of corneal thickness and curvature, and to assess variables of observer agreement.In a multivariate cluster analysis on 223 eyes, the relationship between central corneal thickness, corneal curvature, axial length, anterior chamber depth ...

A Novel Ocular Tonometry Task Trainer. [PDF]
Cureus, 2022 The measurement of intraocular pressure via ocular tonometry is a skill necessary for the evaluation of emergency department patients with ocular complaints. Accurate results inform the use of time-sensitive medications or invasive procedures. We sought to develop and evaluate an affordable, realistic, and reproducible task trainer to allow Emergency ...

Comparison of dynamic contour tonometry and noncontact tonometry in ocular hypertension and glaucoma [PDF]
Eye, 2008 To assess the agreement in the measurement of intraocular pressure obtained by dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) and noncontact tonometer (NCT) in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension, to investigate the effect of corneal thickness on pressure readings by both instruments, and to assess the reproducibility of dynamic contour tonometer.NCT and ...
