METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR EYE PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS

摘要

An intraocular pressure measurement arrangement is disclosed for measuring pressure of an eye of a patient. The arrangement can include at least one source for producing mechanical waves of several frequencies from a distance to the eye of the patient to generate at least one surface wave to the eye, a detector for detecting at least one surface wave from a distance from the eye to extract surface wave information, and a device for determining pressure information of the eye based on the surface wave information.

1. An intraocular pressure measurement arrangement for measuring pressure of an eye of a patient, wherein the arrangement comprises:
at least one source for producing a nonlinear acoustic or nonlinear mechanical wave from a distance coupling to an eye of a patient to generate at least one surface wave to the eye; means for detecting at least one surface wave from a distance from an eye to extract surface wave information; and means for determining pressure information of an eye based on said surface wave information, where the nonlinear acoustic or nonlinear mechanical wave is a transient, broadband or shock wave.
