Measurement of the Intraocular Pressure Using an Integrated System for Air-Applanation Tonometry

Keywords: air-applanation tonometry, non-contact-tonometry (NCT), eye position detection, applanation detection, intraocular pressure

The established Air-Applanation Tonometry (oftentimes designated as NCT) for measuring the intra-ocular pressure features some advantages, e. g. a non-necessary anaesthesia of the cornea. Regarding uncertainty of measurement and technological realisation some improvable shortcomings become evident. An explanation of the errors of measurement is given and a miniaturised device is presented.
