The paper presents the results of practical application of a new screening method for determining tolerant intraocular pressure (TIOP) on a Blood Flow Analyzer (Paradigm, USA). Studies were conducted on 331 eyes (205 subjects). Group 1 consisted of 80 patients (126 eyes) without glaucoma being found, with intraocular pressure (IOP) in the average normal range, but with a TIOP excess of 1-8 mm Hg (a risk group); Group 2 included 15 subjects (20 eyes) without glaucoma with normal IOP in whom TIOP exceeded the existing IOP by 1-7 mm Hg; Group 3 comprised 110 patients (185 eyes) with Stage I-III primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) with compensated IOP.
