Tonometry and the Cornea

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1956
The cornea receives a slight amount of trauma from tonometry. This is more readily observed when fluorescein is used in the eye and examination is made with the aid of a slit lamp. At first, the subject appears to be one of rather academic interest, as there seems to be no excuse for inflicting injury on the cornea with the tonometer.

Instantaneous Tonometry

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1983
Respiration and arterial pulse cause intraocular pressure to cyclically vary around a mean pressure. Both the respiratory and arterial pulse waves approximate sine waves, and we have represented the IOP cycle as the sum of sinusoidal pressure waves. A rapidly acting tonometer may record any portion of the IOP cycle.

Equine Tonometry

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1970
SUMMARY Indirect intraocular tonometry was performed on 6 horses, using an electronic tonometer,” with a topical anesthetic and a tranquilizer. Mean indirect intraocular pressure for these horses was 24.5 mm. Hg (S.D. = 4.0). Direct and indirect intraocular pressure values were also simultaneously recorded on 6 horses under general anesthesia and on 3 ...

Airpuff tonometry versus applanation tonometry

Acta Ophthalmologica, 1990
Abstract In order to study the reliability of airpuff tonometry, 230 eyes of 115 patients had their IOP measured with 2 airpuff tonometers, NCT and Pulsair, and one applanation tonometer, Perkins handheld Goldmann Type, between Dec 87 and March 89. Each patient had three readings per eye with each airpuff instrument and two readings per eye with the ...

Accommodation and Applanation Tonometry

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1961
In a preceding publication, 1 the calculated C value of tonography was shown to be significantly affected by whether the eye, during tonography, was in the accommodated or relaxed state. The C values obtained during accommodation were significantly larger. Furthermore, attentive fixation of the "fixation-light" of the slit lamp for 4 min.

Noncontact Tonometry in Children

Optometry and Vision Science, 1991
A hand-held noncontact tonometer (Pulsair, Keeler Ltd., UK) was tested in 42 children, from 5 months to 12 years of age. At least 1 intraocular pressure (IOP) reading was obtained in all of the 84 eyes studied, whereas with a Goldman applanation tonometer measurements could be obtained in only 26 eyes (14 subjects).

Zur Statistik der Tonometrie

Albrecht von Graefes Archiv f�r Klinische und Experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 1968
An 600 Augen wurde die Applanationstonometrie und Elektrotonometrie durchgefuhrt. Als bei der Deutung der Elektrotonometerwerte Friedenwalds Kalibrationskurve vom Jahre 1955 angewandt wurde, waren die Mittelwerte einerseits der Applanationswerte und andererseits der Elektrotonometerwerte mit 5,5 und 7,5 g Gewicht fast identisch. Innerhalb der Differenz

Comparison of Proview phosphene tonometry with Goldmann applanation tonometry

Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2006
To compare intraocular pressures obtained using a handheld pressure phosphene tonometer (PPT) (Proview, Bausch & Lomb Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Tampa, Fla.) with Goldmann applanation tonometry.Comparative case series of 30 randomly selected patients.The readings obtained with the pressure phosphene tonometer display a higher mean and a larger standard ...

Tonometry Through the Ages

Survey of Ophthalmology, 2008
The definition of glaucoma has changed over the decades from a simple ocular pressure disease to a systemic disorder of multivariate etiology. Glaucoma may be defined for the individual eye as a chronic ocular disease with various underlying pathophysiologic disorders. However, elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is still the most important risk factor
