چکیده
.lthough the cornea is very flexible, force must be required to bend it. Goldmann and Schmidt' and Gloster and Perkins following Imbert and Fick have considered bending resistance in applantation tonometry. Friedenwald however, in his studies on Schi0tz tonometry, came to the conclusion that the resistance of the cornea to deformation is negligibly small. The corneal bending forces involved in the case of the Schi0tz tonometer are by no means simple. It is a common clinical observation that during operation for cataract the corneal dome may either retain

متن کاملTheory and calibration of the Schiotz tonometer. I. The boundary surface of the cornea.
T JLo -onography as developed by Grant has been useful in both laboratory and clinic in elucidating the mechanisms of aqueous dynamics and of glaucoma and in assessing drug action. Tonography is the direct outgrowth of Friedenwald's" work on calibration of the Schi0tz tonometer. The present series of papers is devoted to a re-examination of some of the basic concepts of indentation tonometry in...
متن کاملUnderstanding and caring for a Schiotz tonometer
A Schiotz tonometer is an instrument for measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP). Although the Schiotz tonometer does not make as precise measurements as other types of tonometers, it is inexpensive, simple to use, durable, requires little maintenance, does not have electronics, does not require batteries, and can be stored for years between uses. These qualities make it well suited for screen...
متن کاملSchiötz tonometers. An assessment of their usefulness.
THERE is no doubt that applanation tonometry gives more accurate information about the level of intra-ocular pressure than does indentation tonometry. This increased accuracy is due to the fact that applanation readings approach very closely to the levels of pressure in the undisturbed eye (Po), owing to the small volume of fluid displaced by the application of the tonometer (Goldmann, 1957). A...
متن کاملEffect of Calcium Channel Blockers on Intraocular Pressure in Rabbits
The objective of the study was to evaluate the antiglaucoma effect of calcium channel blockers diltiazem and verapamil. Albino rabbits were used and chronic glaucoma was induced in them using freshly prepared 150 units of alphachymotrypsin. 0.1 mL of drug solution was administered topically into the left eye whereas the right served as control. The pressure recording was carried out at 15, 30, ...
