What is Increased intraocular tension can be diagnosed by and explain in detail?
The intraocular pressure (IOP) is measured with the help of an instrument called tonometer. Two basic types of tonometers available are: indentation and applanation. Indentation (impression) tonometry is based on the fundamental fact that a plunger will indent a soft eye more than a hard eye. The concept of applanation tonometry was introduced by Goldmann is 1954. It is based on Imbe- Fick law which states that the pressure inside a sphere (P) is equal to the force (W) required to flatten its surface divided by the area of flattening (A); i.e., P = W/A.
