    Summary

    The adoption of International System (SI) units necessitates changes in ophthalmology, particularly for measuring intra-ocular pressure. This study surveys current practices and proposes adapted units for practical clinical use.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Metrology

    Background:

    • International System (SI) units are being adopted globally.
    • Ophthalmological practice requires adaptation to new units, especially for intra-ocular pressure (IOP) measurement.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the implications of SI unit adoption in ophthalmology.
    • To propose practical adaptations for intra-ocular pressure measurement units.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey of current ophthalmological practices.
    • Analysis of SI unit integration challenges.

    Main Results:

    • The shift to SI units presents significant challenges for IOP measurement.
    • Existing measurement units require adaptation for consistency with SI standards.

    Conclusions:

    • Ophthalmology must adapt to SI units for international standardization.
    • Practical, adapted units are proposed for consistent intra-ocular pressure measurement.
