Abstract
Apparatus for measuring intra-ocular pressure of an eye includes a housing and a processor. The housing has a protuberance with a flat surface and the processor includes a distance-measuring unit and a force-measuring unit. Intra-ocular pressure is calculated based on force/distance relationships, where the distance includes a measurement to an internal element of the eye. The processor calculates intra-ocular pressure by determining a zero displacement pressure.
