Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for measurement of the intra-ocular pressure (IOP) are presented. A pressure sensor is left freestanding on the cornea of a supine subject, thus eliminating tremors introduced when a pressure sensor is held by hand, without having to use complicated mounting equipment. L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de mesure de la pression intraoculaire. Un capteur de pression est placé de manière à tenir par lui-même sur la cornée d'un sujet couché. L'invention permet d'éliminer les tremblements produits lorsqu'on tient un capteur de pression à la main, et ne nécessite aucun équipement de fixation complexe.
