Claim 17:
18. A computer-readable medium including stored instructions which, when executed by one or more processors coupled to a solitary wave tonometer, wherein the tonometer includes a particle array configured to propagate an incident solitary wave to an eye, a housing configured to support the particle array, a sensor coupled to the particle array and configured to detect a return solitary wave propagating along the particle array from the eye, and a membrane attached to the housing, and configured to removably contact an eyelid of the eye to couple the particle array to the eye, cause the one or more processors to produce an intraocular pressure estimate for the eye by comparing stored solitary wave data describing a tonometer detection event of the eye including return solitary wave data to a stored relationship between (i) solitary waves and (ii) intraocular pressure.
