Review: Measurement Techniques for Intraocular Pressure

Peter R Greene, Nikolai M Sergienko and Sean K Wang

The literature on intra-ocular pressure dynamics is reviewed, including tonometer design and calibration, the influence of corneal-scleral mechanics, and scleral rigidity factors. Drugs that influence the outflow facility of the trabecular meshwork (TM) are discussed. Transmural pressure drop across the lamina cribosa (LC) is an important parameter, in terms of quantifying potential glaucoma damage to the optic nerve.
