Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness
worldwide. Although intraocular pressure (IOP) is not considered any more to be a defining feature of
the disease, its lowering remains the only treatment option for glaucoma. Therefore accurate and precise
measurement of IOP is the cornerstone of glaucoma.
Intraocular pressure is a highly dynamic physiological parameter with individual circadian rhythms. The
main limitation of current tonometry methods remains the static and mostly office-based nature of their
measurements.
Keywords: Glaucoma, Intraocular pressure (IOP), Tonometry.
