Exploring the Feasibility of Estimating Intraocular Pressure Using Vibrational Response of the Eye: A Methodological Approach.

This study addresses the limitations of current tonometry techniques by exploring vibroacoustic properties for estimating intraocular pressure (IOP), a key diagnostic parameter for monitoring glaucoma-a significant risk factor for vision loss. Utilizing vivo porcine eyeballs, we investigated the relationship between IOP and the nonlinear vibration transfer function ratio (NVTFR). Through applying varying vibration levels and analyzing responses with transfer function analysis and univariate regression, we identified a strong negative correlation between NVTFR and IOP, evidenced by a Pearson correlation coefficient of -0.
