title: [Indentation of the cornea and tonometry. Registration of the T-forces].
abstract: Using the probe of the Stepanik Arteriotonograph, the T-forces induced in corneal tissue by indentation and their correlation with various intraocular pressure levels were recorded for the first time. The study was performed on enucleated human eyes. The results indicate that when performing tonometry a corneal indentation of more than 0.6 mm should be avoided.
