Instrumental tonometry was developed in the second half of XIX century, especially when local anesthesia of the cornea became available. Imbert-Fick mathematical law and the building, 75 years later, of the excellent Goldmann tonometer were the principal steps of aplanation tonometry; however, this technique is now limited by the difficulties encountered in updating and automatizing the evaluation of aplanated surface. In the other hand, there are some evidence that the ocular tension, as evaluated with Goldmann tonometer, could be different of manometric intraocular pressure in the vitreous cavity, especially when the cornea is abnormal. New tonometers utilizing electric deformimeters technology might be developed particularly to perform continual eye pressure monitoring.
眼压计技术在19世纪下半叶得到发展，尤其是在角膜局部麻醉技术出现之后。伊姆伯特-菲克数学定律以及75年后优秀的戈德曼眼压计的发明是压平眼压测量法的主要发展阶段；然而，这项技术目前受到在更新和自动化压平表面评估过程中遇到的困难的限制。另一方面，有一些证据表明，用戈德曼眼压计测量的眼压可能与玻璃体腔中的眼压计测量的眼压不同，尤其是在角膜异常的情况下。特别是为了进行持续眼压监测，可能会开发利用电子变形测量仪技术的新型眼压计。
