    A novel fiberoptic core replaces the standard Müller tonography plunger, offering a fixation target for tonography. This innovation improves testing for patients with visual challenges, such as monocular vision.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Tonography is essential for measuring intraocular pressure.
    • Conventional tonography uses a Müller plunger, which can be challenging for certain patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a fiberoptic core as a fixation target for tonography.
    • To evaluate its utility in patients with visual impairments.

    Main Methods:

    • A fiberoptic core was substituted for the standard Müller tonography plunger.
    • The device was tested on patients with conditions like monocular vision and phoriatropia.

    Main Results:

    • The fiberoptic core successfully provided a fixation target for tonography.
    • It proved particularly useful for patients who are difficult to examine with conventional methods.

    Conclusions:

    • The fiberoptic core is a viable and effective alternative fixation target for tonography.
    • This modification enhances tonography's applicability to a wider patient population, including those with visual difficulties.
