Intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring is important in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. The measurement of IOP is affected by corneal properties, but the effect of corneal stiffness on IOP measurement is unaccounted for in pressure measurement instruments such as the Goldmann Applanation Ton

This article describes a feasibility study of a novel trans-scleral tonometer based on the use of an instrumented form of digital palpation tonometry. Similar to manual digital palpation tonometery, trans-scleral tonometer utilizes two force probes offset by a fixed distance. Force indentation data

PURPOSE: Recent studies indicate that ocular and scleral rigidity is pertinent to our understanding of glaucoma, age related macular degeneration and the development and pathogenesis of myopia. The principal method of measuring ocular rigidity is by extrapolation of data from corneal indentation ton
