Case Studies
Our team has carried out numerous studies on the use of tactile technology in clinical and other applications. Below are some examples of in-vitro and in-vivo studies. Furthermore, we have shown that the technology is also applicable to material testing and characterization.
Read about some of our significant cases below.
In-Vitro Studies on Procine Eyes
Tactile eye tonometry was first applied trans-scleraly on pressurized encucleated procine eyes. Several force probes were used to measure the tactile forces as a function of the eye pressure. The eye was pressurezed to a known pressure using a manometric water column.
Non-Invasive Human Subject Studies
Several tonometer prototypes were tested in-vivo using volunteers following an approved testing protocol by the University of Arizona Human Subject's Protection Program. The pressure of the eye was measured using Goldman applanation tonometery and followed up with our tactile tonometer. Figure 2 shows a comparisson between Goldamn (GAT) and tactile tonometry (TT).
