title: Clinical and statistical aspects on standardization of tonometers.
abstract: Using the applanation tonometry of Goldmann (mechanical-optical applanation principle with constant diameter of the applanation circle) as a reference system, a test plan inclusive of the necessary conditions for the clinical control measurements of new tonometer types and guiding values for judging the usefulness of these new developments are described. For calculation of the statistical values a computer program in BASIC system is specified.
