23. Applanation tonometry is based on

A. Imbert-Fick principle✓
B. Goldman's equation
C. Perkins principle
D. Principle of indentation

The intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye is determined by the balance between the
amount of aqueous humor - that the eye makes and the ease with which it leaves the eye.
The Goldmann equation states:
Po = (F/C) + Pv ; Po is the IOP in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), F is the rate of aqueous
formation, C is the facility of outflow, and Pv is the episcleral venous pressure
Applanation tonometry is based on the Imbert-Fick principle, which states that the
pressure inside an ideal dry, thin-walled sphere equals the force necessary to flatten its
surface divided by the area of flattening (P = F/A, where P = pressure, F = force and A =
area). In applanation tonometry, the cornea is flattened and the IOP is determined by
varying the applanating force or the area flattened
