Abstract

The Outflow facility of eye ball provides crucial informations in the diagnose of ophthalmological glaucoma. Tn this study an ophthalmic outflow facility measuring device is developed and experimentally tested. This system employs pressure sensors and linear positioning device to regulate solution reservoir height, the pressure of eye ball. The experimental result show that the system works well even in harsh environment so that it can be implemented in ophthalmic practice as well as in biomedical research.
