With non-contact tonometry (NCT), a gentle puff of air flattens the cornea. This is why it is also called the "air puff" test.6Many prefer this test because it does not involve touching the eye with a probe. Studies have shown that this test is accurate even if the patient is weari...
It cites the applanation tonometry preparation and the equipment used measuring IOP including applanation prism, fluorescein strips, and local anaesthetic drops. It also offers the methods in measuring IOP including the instillation of the local anaesthetic drops, ensuring that the slit beam is shining...
Compare seven previous methods for the estimation of aortic characteristic impedance, which contributes to left ventricle pulsatile load, from phase-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and applanation tonometry data.We studied 77 healthy (43±16 years) individuals and 16 hypertensive (61±9...

Among others, two main approaches are mainly implemented to estimate the central PWV. During direct “two-point” measurement methods, the pulse wave propagation is detected over different points of the body either with direct contact (applanation tonometry) or via pulse-wave-dependent parameters (Pu...
