Measurement of IOP(Digital method)

Aim: to test the IOP roughly

Steps:

1)-Ask the patient to look downward

2)-Fluctuate the eye using 2 index fingers close to each others & above the tarsus (fluctuation means pressure with one finger & receive with the other)

3)-Compare the tension with the other eye

Oral questions:

*Accurate methods of measurement of IOP

*Normal IOP & diurnal variation

*The term (Tension) or (Pressure) is more better

*Glaucoma
