Featured: Tonometry Main Article
Tonometry is a method for measuring the pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP), which is useful in detecting glaucoma. IOP can be determined with the help of a tonometer, a device which lightly touches the surface of the (anesthetized) eye and measures the eye's resistance to indentation.
