Continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure

Abstract

To date, the only way to directly measure intraocular pressure (IOP) is by manometry. The true pressure inside the eye cannot be determined by pressing on the outside of the eye (tonometry). At present, there are two problems with our current clinical methods of measuring IOP: namely, the lack of true accuracy and the inability to detect variations. © 2010 Springer-Verlag New York.
