Cornea
The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber.

Gold standard (test)
In medicine and statistics, gold standard test is usually diagnostic test or benchmark that is the best available under reasonable conditions.

Imbert-Fick law
Armand Imbert (1850-1922) and Adolf Fick (1829-1901) have both demonstrated, independently of each other, that in ocular tonometry the tension of the wall can be "eliminated when the application of the tonometer produces a flat surface instead of a concave one, and the reading of the tonometer (P) then equals (T) the IOP," whence all forces cancel each other.

Intraocular pressure
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the fluid pressure inside the eye.

Millimeter of mercury
A millimeter of mercury is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high and now defined as precisely pascals.

Minimally invasive procedures
Minimally invasive procedures (also known as minimally invasive surgeries) encompass surgical techniques that limit the size of incisions needed and so lessen wound healing time, associated pain and risk of infection.

Piezoresistive effect
The piezoresistive effect is a change in the electrical resistivity of a semiconductor or metal when mechanical strain is applied.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Piezoresistive effect · See more »
Pressure
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Pressure · See more »
Pressure sensor
A pressure sensor is a device for pressure measurement of gases or liquids.

Proxymetacaine
Proxymetacaine (INN) or proparacaine (USAN) is a topical anesthetic drug of the aminoester group.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Proxymetacaine · See more »
Schiøtz tonometer
Schiøtz tonometer is an indentation tonometer, used to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) by measuring the depth produced on the surface of the cornea by a load of a known weight.

Sclera
The sclera, also known as the white of the eye, is the opaque, fibrous, protective, outer layer of the human eye containing mainly collagen and some elastic fiber.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Sclera · See more »
Slit lamp
The slit lamp is an instrument consisting of a high-intensity light source that can be focused to shine a thin sheet of light into the eye.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Slit lamp · See more »
Tarsus (eyelids)
The tarsi (tarsal plates) are two comparatively thick, elongated plates of dense connective tissue, about in length; one is found in each eyelid, and contributes to its form and support.

Tears
Tearing, lacrimation, or lachrymation is the secretion of tears, which often serves to clean and lubricate the eyes in response to an irritation of the eyes.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Tears · See more »
Topical anesthetic
A topical anesthetic is a local anesthetic that is used to numb the surface of a body part.
New!!: Ocular tonometry and Topical anesthetic · See more »
Transducer
A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another.
