Abstract

Ocular rigidity is defined as the resistance of the eye at a force which tries to change its volume. The ocular rigidity is a parameter with clinical value. A device has been constructed that calculates the ocular rigidity by the displacement of the volume of the aqueous fluid from the anterior chamber. The pressure of the eye is calculated using the same device, with knowledge of the force which is exerted at the cornea and its flattening surface. Improvements for valid measurements of ocular pressure and rigidity took place. Finally, measurements of intraocular pressure with the elastometer were compared with the measurement of the Goldmann tonometer at the same group of patients.
