A Novel Ocular Tonometry Task Trainer
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 ...

Initial experience in self-monitoring of intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2020 Background/aims: Diurnal variation in intraocular pressure (IOP) is a routine assessment in glaucoma management. Providing patients the opportunity to perform self-tonometry might empower them and free hospital resource.

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 ...

Ocular tonometry in critically ill patients and their behaviour
Spanish Journal of Legal Medicine, 2021 Abstract Introduction The study of the post-mortem interval is an important element in the investigation of criminal acts. It is also one of the most difficult variables to quantify and establish. Various cadaveric phenomena are used to assess it, some of which are ocular, such as intraocular pressure.

A mechanical model of ocular bulb vibrations and implications for acoustic tonometry
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 accounts for the interaction between the elastic corneoscleral shell and the viscoelastic vitreous ...

Review on Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Ocular Pulse Amplitude [PDF]
Ophthalmic Research, 2015 Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is the cornerstone of the management of glaucoma patients. The gold standard for assessing IOP is Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Recently, the dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) has become available. While both devices provide reliable IOP measurements, the results are not interchangeable.

Intraocular pressure and ocular pulse amplitude using dynamic contour tonometry and contact lens tonometry [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2004 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 study to compare the IOP results of this new device with Goldmann tonometry. Furthermore, IOP and OPA measured

Intraocular pressure in a cohort of healthy Eastern European schoolchildren: variations in method and corneal thickness [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: Intraocular pressure (IOP) in the developing eye of a child is not always easy to measure and there is no technique that is known to be the most accurate for the young eye. Measurements are needed on many cohorts of children with different

Non-Invasive Ocular Rigidity Measurement: A Differential Tonometry Approach [PDF]
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic), 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 for the calculation of ocular rigidity (OR) based on the differences in pressure and volume between ...

Feeling the pressure: a cross-sectional study exploring feasibility of a healthcare Pop-Up for intraocular pressure measurements in shopping centres in England [PDF]
, 2019 OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that a shopping centre Pop-Up health check combining an intraocular pressure (IOP) check with a general health check (blood pressure (BP)) is more readily accepted by the general public than an IOP check only.
