How do you measure fluid pressure within the eye?

Fluid pressure within the eye is typically measured using a tonometer, which applies gentle pressure to the cornea to estimate the pressure within the eye.

Another method is applanation tonometry, which involves flattening a small area of the cornea with a special tool to measure the pressure.
