    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is crucial for diagnosing and managing glaucoma.
    • Current tonometry methods often require anesthesia, sterilization, and specialized settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate novel portable instruments for measuring IOP non-invasively through the eyelid.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an ophthalmotonometer (TGDc-01) and a pressure indicator (IGD-02).
    • Both devices operate by measuring the acceleration of a freely falling rod after impact with the eye's surface.
    • Correlation of device readings with established IOP measurements (genuine IOP and Maklakov's tonometer).

    Main Results:

    • The TGDc-01 readings showed a strong correlation with genuine intraocular pressure.
    • The IGD-02 readings correlated with tonometric pressure using Maklakov's tonometer (10g weight).
    • Both instruments demonstrated sufficient accuracy for clinical purposes.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed instruments provide a convenient, non-invasive method for IOP measurement.
    • Ease of use, no need for anesthesia or sterilization, and portability make them suitable for various settings, including home use.
    • These devices represent a significant advancement in accessible ophthalmic diagnostics.
