摘要

The measuring method using Goldmann's applanation tonometer consists in increasing the external force applied by a plane push-piece on the cornea until the eyeball deformed part attains a certain surface. The result is read on a graduated drum. The invention concerns a novel combination of elements known in different branches of technology, namely Goldmann's applanation tonometer and the position sensor in the field of electric motor adjustment, for example the integrated incremental optical sensor, thereby enabling to obtain the result in digital electronic form, and therefore, fast measurements, reliable transcription, easy storage of the results and all the operations on the data provided by electronic data processing.
