[Assessment of aqueous humor dynamics with Ulrich oculopressure tonometry].

Oculopression tonometry according to Ulrich can be used for the judgement of the facility of outflow like the tonography according to Grant. As shown by us for the first time, oculopression tonometry can also serve to evaluate aqueous humor formation. The results of a planned prospective study in 30 glaucoma patients and in 30 healthy volunteers are shown. It can be concluded that the recovery time of the intraocular pressure seems to be a better criterion for the diagnosis of glaucoma than the intraocular pressure measured immediately after the artificial pressure enhancement.
