METHOD OF INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE MEASUREMENT THROUGH EYELID (VERSIONS) AND RELATED DEVICE (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A61B3/16 A61F9/00 

FIELD: medicine; ophthalmology.

SUBSTANCE: method of intraocular pressure measurement through eyelid is based on static eyelid deformation by support loading with two flanges and simultaneous dynamic eyeball deformation through eyelid with free-falling rod at subsequent measurement of rod time-motion function parameters. Measurement is performed twice with different static eye loadings of support. Dynamic eyeball deformation can also be carried out by counter-balanced rod, thus rod gets speed due to acceleration unit. Besides, acceleration of rod can be due to magnetic field. In case of multiple dynamic eye deformation with increasing eye pressure force at the moment of occurrence of sclera or cornea deformation wave, intraocular pressure value is registered, then increasing dynamic eye deformation is stopped. Device used for intraocular pressure measurement contains eye pressure sensor and rod motion velocity sensor.

EFFECT: application of this group of inventions provides detection of intraocular pressure through eyelid regardless of geometrical and physical characteristics.
