Clinical value of ocular response analyzer
Li C-Y; Duan X-CInternational Journal of Ophthalmology 2009; 9: 934-937
For a new Non-contact tonometer, reichert ocular response analyzer utilizes a dynamic bi-directional applanation process to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP). It can precisely record IOP and two new indicators of corneal biomechanics called corneal hysteresis (CH) and corneal resistance factor (CRF), and eliminate the influence of corneal thickness and rigidity which traditional applanation tonometer often confronts. Its manipulation is very simple and will display intraocular pressure readings and corneal biomechanics automatically. Because of its high accuracy, good repeatability and non-contact, it can be widely used in monitoring intraocular pressure in clinic, especially in eyes undergone kerato refractive surgery. However, its role of guide to the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma needs further research. LA: Chinese
