Методы тонометрии и роль различных проб в ранней диагностике глаукомы (часть 2)

Abstract

This literature review depicts various tonometry methods (Maklakov, elastotonometry, Goldmann tonometry, tonometry by means of Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and ICare). The efficacy and accuracy characteristics of different intraocular pressure measuring methods are presented. The article sums up current research on the interdependence of the intraocular pressure and central cornea thickness, the influence of visco-elastic characteristics of the fibrous membrane of the eye on results of some tonometry methods, the correlation of biomechanical indices and interrelation of corneal hysteresis, corneal resistance factor and intraocular pressure. The review describes various tests used in early diagnostics of glaucoma: stress tests (mydriatic test, Wurgaft compression tonometry test, Heims position test, Krasnov orthoclinostatic test, corticosteroid provocative testing by B. Becker, W. Mills etc.)
