Press-in tonometer - Press-in tonometer


[Measurement of intraocular pressure]
In the days before tonometers, intraocular pressure was measured by pressing the eyeball with a finger (acupressure method) and measuring the degree of pressure applied, but this method is still valuable today as it is extremely simple. Tonometers currently in use measure intraocular pressure by applying a certain amount of force to the eyeball and measuring the degree of deformation (indentation tonometer) or the force required to cause a certain amount of deformation (applanation tonometer). Clinically, there are two types of tonometers: indentation tonometers, such as the Schiøtz tonometer, and applanation tonometers, such as the Goldmann tonometer. …

[眼圧の測定]
 眼圧計tonometerのなかった時代には,もっぱら指で眼球を圧迫し(指圧法),その張りぐあいによって眼圧の高低が測られていたが,この方法は,きわめて簡便な方法として現代でもその価値をもつ。現在用いられている眼圧計では,眼球に一定の力を加えて生ずる変形の程度(圧入眼圧計),あるいは一定の変形をおこすのに必要な力(圧平眼圧計)を測定することにより眼圧を測定する。通常,臨床的には,シエッツ眼圧計Schiøtz tonometerを代表とする圧入眼圧計とゴールドマン眼圧計Goldmann tonometerを代表とする圧平眼圧計がある。…
