The aim of the present study was to compare the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) in patients with different types of glaucoma using dynamic contour tonometry (DCT), to evaluate ocular and systemic factors associated with the OPA and to verify whether OPA ...

Dynamic contour tonometry vs. non-contact tonometry and their relation with corneal thickness [PDF]
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concordance between intraocular pressure (IOP) values obtained with a dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) and a non-contact tonometer (NCT) in healthy patients and to investigate the effect of central corneal ...

Increased Ocular Pulse Amplitude Associated with Unilateral Dysgenesis of the Orbital Roof
Introduction: Two patients (one with neurofibromatosis type 1) presented with unilateral ocular pulsation. Methods: A CT scan of the orbits revealed extensive dysgenesis of the orbital roof with herniation of the frontal lobe into the orbit in both cases.

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

Wearable PZT Piezoelectric Sensor Device for Accurate Arterial Pressure Pulse Waveform Measurement
This work presents a wearable device for the non‐invasive measurement of radial arterial pressure pulse waveforms, incorporating a highly sensitive flexible Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) piezoelectric sensor and an optimized tightness‐free attachment method to maximize the sensitivity.

Dynamic contour tonometry versus Goldmann applanation tonometry: challenging the gold standard [PDF]
The accurate measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) is fundamental to almost any ophthalmic examination. Dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) was introduced 5 years ago as an entirely novel contact tonometry principle designed to measure IOP largely ...

Self-monitoring av intraocular pressure and its clinical application [PDF]
Purpose: Measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most common ophthalmologic examinations, especially within glaucoma management. An elevated IOP is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma, and is so far the only
