Abstract:For the foreign monopoly of current non-contact tonometry technology and the disadvantage of domestic existing technology,we develop a new type of non-contact tonometry system base on equilibrium principle and aerostatic technology. The system adopts ARM9 S3C2440A as the core,mainly including flotation measurement module,control module,human-computer interaction and communication interface module. The flotation measurement module could finish the signal acquisition and measurement on CCD camera,pressure sensor,and optical signals of corneal reflection that the control module mainly controlled the supply gas pressure of centered gas chamber. When the developed system is used to measure human intraocular pressure,the measured values show that there is only less than 6.01% repeatability error. Compared with the imported non-contact tonometry,the absolute error between two equipments’ measured IOP values is also no more than 1.3m mHg,which shows that the system could detect the intraocular pressure of people quickly and easily.
