This study found that ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) is significantly reduced in severe carotid artery stenosis. OPA could serve as a non-invasive, inexpensive screening tool for carotid artery stenosis, potentially reducing stroke incidence.

This study found SD-OCT provides more repeatable retinal nerve fiber layer measurements than TD-OCT, especially in glaucoma patients, improving diagnostic and monitoring precision.

This study compared a new hand-held tonometer (HH-DCT) to existing devices, finding HH-DCT measured higher IOP but provided more consistent readings, suggesting potential for reliable glaucoma screening.

Very high-altitude climbing causes small, significant IOP changes (initial increase, then decrease) modulated by oxygen saturation, but appears safe for eye pressure.

A study comparing handheld and slit-lamp dynamic contour tonometers found strong agreement in IOP and OPA measurements. The handheld device is a valuable clinical alternative.
