Abstract

Research suggests that fluctuations in diurnal IOP are a significant independent risk for glaucoma progression. An effective self-tonometer and a clinical method for its use by the patient at home would help the management of glaucoma. We describe a prototype of a new tonometer that may prove useful for non-invasive self-tonometry . Preliminary data suggests that the device is locating the area of IOP by calculating the force required to deform the cornea at a given time.
