New possibilities in determining the individual norm of intraocular pressure

This article presents the preliminary results of a clinical trial of the Individual Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Norm Analyzer. The screening method for determination of individual norm of IOP proved the efficiency for early glaucoma diagnosis, as well as in the treatment and monitoring of the disease. Patients with IOP elevated for up to 15% relative to tolerant IOP were put into the group with low risk of disease development, with IOP elevation of 15 to 25% — the group with average risk, by more than 25% — the group with high risk of developing glaucoma. The Individual IOP Norm Analyzer is an effective device for dynamic monitoring, which in combination with other examination methods increases the capabilities of early diagnosis, monitoring of glaucoma with regard to individual parameters.
