titleOfInvention | Method for eliminating error in tonometric measurements |
abstract | A novel tonometry method wherein measured intraocular pressure corresponding to inward applanation of the cornea (C) and corneal hysteresis derived from a pressure differential associated with inward and outward applanation events in the same measurement pulse allows comparison with a predetermined population normality function to avoid corneal effects so that the actual status of intraocular pressure can be ascertained. A dual mode non-contact tonometer (10) allows selection between a standard measurement mode for patient comfort and an alternate measurement mode wherein pressure-time characteristics of the fluid pulse are varied to allow additional observation of corneal hysteresis associated with the dynamic measurement process for carrying out the novel tonometry method. |
