Methods for externally measuring pressure within body cavities exist. In tonometer form they are fast and gentle not requiring anesthetics for the cornea of the human eye. Readings are accurate and independent of tissue tension, corneal stiffness, astigmatic curvatures, and surface tension. There are also separate indications of corneal rigidity and relaxation, and tonographic fluid expression. Other applications include monitoring blood pressure, uterine contractions, and infant intracranial pressure.
存在用于体外测量体腔内压力的方法。以眼压计形式出现时，它们快速且轻柔，无需对人眼角膜使用麻醉剂。读数准确，且不受组织张力、角膜硬度、散光曲率和表面张力的影响。还有角膜硬度和松弛以及眼压描记液体排出的单独指标。其他应用包括监测血压、子宫收缩和婴儿颅内压。
