Constant-area applanation tonography.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tonography device, based on the MacKay-Marg tonometer, has been constructed which will applanate the cornea to a preselected area of 5.0 to 6.0 mm diameter and maintain that applanation area. The pressure decrease with time should resemble the pressure decrease following bolus injection of fluid into the eye. In most cases the pressure decreased in a linear slope, abruptly terminating in a pressure plateau. In most cases, the pressure after 4 min of tonography was lower than preliminary Goldmann applanation pressure.

In a previous study (Leighton, Phillips, and Gibbs, 1970), a provocative outflow test using a combination of water drinking (20 ml./kg. body weight) and gutt. homatropine 2 per cent. in 24 open-angle glaucoma suspects caused a significantly greater fall in outflow facility and rise in outflow resistance than either water drinking alone or homatropine alone (0o02 < P < o0os in each case). When a...
متن کاملExperimental tonography on enucleated human eyes. I. The validity of Grant's tonography formula.
When newer tables for parameters in Grant's formula for tonography are used, one obtains far higher values for the outflow facility than those generally accepted. The aim of this iinvestigation has, therefore, been to test the validity of the tonography formula. The outflow facility determined by constant-rate perfusion in enucleated eyes has been compared with the results of tonography on the ...
متن کاملThe influence of position on intraocular pressure.
To better understand the relationship of Schi0tz pressure determination (in the recumbent position) to Goldmann applanation pressure determinations (in the sitting position), we studied, the change in intraocular pressure that occurs when a person changes from a sitting position to lying on his back, utilizing applanation tonometry for both positions. The average pressure rise was 0.3 mm. Hg in...

A group of "senior citizens" was studied with respect to applanation pressures, water-provocative tonography, and steroid-provocative testing. The results showed that considerable numbers of elderly individuals demonstrate applanation pressures greater than or equal to 20 mm. Hg and Po/C ratios after water greater than 100, and yet have normal disks and normal fields. It ivas concluded that suc...
