Publication number: 20190029515Abstract: An ophthalmological analysis method measures an intraocular pressure in an eye using an analysis system. The analysis system includes an actuation device, with which a cornea of the eye is deformed contactlessly. The actuation device applies a puff of air to the eye to deform the cornea. A monitoring system monitors the deformation of the cornea and records sectional images of the undeformed and deformed cornea. An analysis device derives an intraocular pressure from the sectional images of the cornea, wherein the recorded sectional images of the deformed cornea are corrected relative to a recorded sectional image of the undeformed cornea, the intraocular pressure being derived under consideration of the correction.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2018Publication date: January 31, 2019Inventors: Gert Koest, Andreas Steinmueller
