title: [Experiences with the non-contact-tonometer (author's transl)].
abstract: The Non-Contact-Tonometer as developed by the American Optical Corporation, is in use superior to the traditional methods of intraocular-pressure measurements according to Schiötz and Goldmann: Without any manipulation on the eye the intra-ocular pressure can be measured rapidly and easily. Owing to the construction of the tonometer however measurements are only possible with smooth corneae. In addition to this the results of measurement with the NCT are not as exact as those of the traditional methods. Finally there is up to the present no possibility of standardising the new tonometer.
