Abstract
A theoretical design for a non-invasive, continuous, applanation, contact lens tonometer is proposed based on physical forces which cause a contact lens to adhere to the eye and the principles of applanation to measure pressure within a sphere. This instrument has potentially wide applications in the continuous measurement of intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, a blinding disease characterized by elevated intraocular pressure.Entities:
