[On the distribution of the values of intra-ocular pressure in the normal population (author's transl)].

The distribution of applanation intraocular pressure was studied in a normal population over a period of 7 years. The distribution shows a bimodal curve with peaks at 13 and 17 mm. The assumption is made of two populations whose pressures are symmetrically distributed. Some genetic and clinical aspects of these findings are discussed.
