PURPOSE Tonometry, or measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), is one of the most important examination procedures in ophthalmic clinics, and IOP is an important parameter in the diagnosis of glaucoma. Because there are numerous types of tonometer available, it is important to evaluate the differences in readings between different tonometers. Goldmann applanation tonometers (GATs) and noncont...

Aim . The study of the structural and functional properties arteries in patients after a coronavirus disease 2019. Material methods included 113 people: 45 people who were examined before start COVID-19 pandemic, healthy individuals had (n=44), 24 with hypertension (HTN) combination prior COVID-19. In study, blood tests performed, while carotid evaluated using high-RF signal technology, applana...

Title Evaluation of a new rebound tonometer for self-measurement of intraocular pressure Subtitle Self-measurement using Icare Home showed good agreement with Goldmann applanation tonometry. Icare Home self-measurement was well accepted and reliable results obtained by 3 in 4 subjects, suggesting potential use for home measurement of intraocular pressure. Number of references = 26 Number of sup...

PURPOSE To determine in human eyes whether diurnal fluctuations in axial length are related to fluctuations in intraocular pressure (IOP) by studying these fluctuations in both eyes of individual subjects and by assessing the regularity of both rhythms on two separate study days. METHODS Ten subjects, ages 18 to 24 years, underwent serial axial length and IOP measurements using highly precise...

AIMS To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in patients with band keratopathy or glued corneas obtained from affected and non-affected areas. METHODS 15 patients with band keratopathy or glued corneas were prospectively recruited. When both eyes were affected, only the right eye was analysed. Tono-Pen readings of IOP were obtained sequentially from the affected and non-affect...

Introduction. Since its first publication in the medical literature, an extremely large number of references have demonstrated that the tonometric measurement of tissue perfusion is a reliable indicator of the actual condition of critically ill patients. Later a new method was developed by the introduction of sublingual tonometry for the determination of tissue perfusion. In comparison with gas...

Glaucoma is one of the most dreadful ocular conditions that affects millions of people worldwide and is one of the major causes of irreversible blindness. Although glaucoma is a complex and poorly understood disorder, the primary goal of therapy is lowering Intraocular Pressure (IOP), which is not only one of the most significant risk factors in development of the disease, but also the only mod...

Attempts at the mechanical identification of the human eyeball are often not very effective for two reasons: the material parameters determined by tension tests on corneal and scleral tissue specimens are not sufficiently accurate while numerical models of the eye, integrating material and geometric parameters, are often based on unrealistic assumptions. The examples presented here cover refrac...
