Patent ID: 8551014

Claim:
An opthalmological analysis method for measuring an intraocular pressure in an eye with an analysis system including an actuating device that deforms a cornea of the eye in contactless manner, the method comprising the following steps: (a) applying a puff of air to an eye with an actuating device in such manner that a cornea of the eye is deformed; (b) observing and recording a deformation of the cornea with an observation system; (c) creating sectional images of the cornea when the cornea is deformed or not deformed according to step (a) with the observation system; and (d) deriving an intraocular pressure from the sectional images of the cornea with an analysis device, wherein a material characteristic of the cornea is derived from the sectional images of the cornea in the analysis device, wherein a diameter d 1 of a first applanation area of the cornea and a diameter d n of a deformation area of the cornea differing from the first applanation area are derived as the material characteristic, and wherein the intraocular pressure is derived taking into account the material characteristic of the cornea.
