A method and apparatus for measuring corneal resistance to deformation use an empirically derived function wherein an inward applanation pressure P 1 and an outward applanation pressure P 2 obtained during a corneal deformation cycle caused by a fluid pulse are separately weighted so as to minimize dependence of the calculated corneal resistance factor (CRF) on intraocular pressure. In one embodiment, the function is optimized, at least in part, to maximize statistical correlation between the calculated corneal resistance factor (CRF) and central corneal thickness.
