- Abstract
People residing in rural and remote areas (worldwide) have substantially worse outcome in early detection and diagnosis of glaucoma than those living in metropolitan areas. This gap can be reduced by improved glaucoma diagnosis activities in primary care, but there is little empirical evidence regarding use of tonometry in rural settings, or the expertise associated with quality of eye care. This article describes a feasibility study of a novel through-eyelid tonometer based on the use of an instrumented form of indentation and applanation tonometry.
