Abstract

A 3D model of human eye is developed by using Finite Element based software to determine the influence of variation in Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) of eye on the magnitude of applanation force applied during tonometry test procedure. The standard tonometer experiences deformation from 0.5mm to 3mm of the cornea is adopted during the simulation work. The study about the applanation force during tonometry plays a major role while designing new prototype of tonometer. The results demonstrate that higher IOP of eye will tend to reduce the magnitude of force of applanation required during tonometry test and vice versa. To provide maximum of up-to 3mm displacement of cornea along the direction of cornea towards retina, the amount of applanation force provided through tonometer is 2.8N and to provide 0.5mm displacement of cornea along the direction towards the retina, the amount of applanation force is 0.5N.
