[Dynamic rigidometry].

A new method for assessment of the rigidity of corneoscleral membrane is offered: dynamic rigidometry permitting assessment of the real rigidity of the sclera (Eo). The studies were carried out in 106 normal subjects and 154 patients with glaucoma. In normal controls Eo coefficient was 0.0044 +/- 0.0008 on an average, whereas in glaucoma patients it was two times higher (0.0109 +/- 0.0018). This coefficient virtually did not depend on the level of intraocular pressure. A relationship between Eo and glaucoma stage was detected.

[Studies on ocular rigidity].

An ophthalmo-sphygmographic method for assessment of ocular rigidity is suggested. Rigidity coefficient E is estimated from changes in intraocular pressure and eye volume connected with systolic increment of blood volume. The mean E value in normal subjects (n = 123) was 0.0214 +/- 0.005. The results of the suggested method for E coefficient assessment and Friedenwald's method were in good correlation (r = 0.72). Use of Schiotz's constant weight impression sensor helped do without differential tonometry and therefore simplify the method and rule out the errors typical of the traditional methods.
