Abstract
Abstract
The paper deals with the influence of various biomechanical parameters on the intraocular pressure (IOP). The IOP is a very important factor in more accurate diagnosis and better management of glaucoma. To get a more realistic value of IOP the measurement methodology must reflect the patient’s individual biometric and biomechanical parameters, for example age, sex, race, biomechanical properties of cornea, etc. Many measuring methods are based on the applanation of cornea during its loading by the measuring device - tonometers. These tonometers apply the Imbert – Fick law [1], which determines their size. This work also addresses the current approaches to creating more realistic IOP data.
