We compared the Oculab Tono-Pen, a miniaturized Mackay-Marg tonometer, with a Statham membrane manometer in six humans (12 eyes), three to six hours after death. The intraocular pressure was changed in 5- to 10-mm Hg steps in a range between 0 and 60 mm Hg by an infusion system. The correlation coefficient of the relation of Tono-Pen readings vs manometrically determined intraocular pressures was .99. Compared to the manometer, the Tono-Pen gave a small underestimation of intraocular pressure above 17 mm Hg or overestimation below 17 mm Hg. The maximal deviation of the Tono-Pen readings from the manometer readings was 2.5 mm Hg. In our experience the correspondence between Tono-Pen and manometer readings was superior to the correspondence between the readings obtained with the original Mackay-Marg tonometer and manometry.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
