For more than 50 years Goldmann applanation tonometry has been the internationally accepted method for measuring intraocular pressure. In Goldmann applanation tonometry, however, some basic physical properties are oversimplified and the method has some flaws and restrictions. This paper is intended to promote the understanding of the methodological basis of Goldmann applanation tonometry and describes the most important factors influencing the measurement of intraocular pressure (e. g., corneal thickness, corneal radius, axial length and corneal morphology). Furthermore, the basic principles of other commonly used tonometer devices will be discussed. New developments are anticipated that will measure the true intraocular pressure more accurately than Goldmann applanation tonometry.
五十多年来，Goldmann压平眼压计一直是国际上公认的测量眼压的方法。然而，在Goldmann压平眼压计中，一些基本物理特性被过度简化，该方法存在一些缺陷和限制。本文旨在增进对Goldmann压平眼压计方法学基础的理解，并描述影响眼压测量的最重要因素（例如，角膜厚度、角膜半径、眼轴长度和角膜形态）。此外，还将讨论其他常用眼压计设备的基本原理。预计将会有新的进展，能够比Goldmann压平眼压计更准确地测量真实眼压。
