ocular rigidity |

|
rigidity, ocular The resistance of the coats of the eye to indentation. This factor is taken into account in the tables used when determining the intraocular pressure by means of an indentation tonometer such as that of Schiötz. The tables are based on an eye of average ocular rigidity but if the eye has high or low rigidity, an error is introduced into the readings: means of minimizing this effect have been devised. See impression tonometer. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |
