To evaluate a new method of measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the vitreous cavity. IOPs in the anterior chamber and vitreous cavities of 24 porcine eyes (12 eyes with lenses and 12 eyes without lenses) were measured directly, continuously, and simultaneously. We used a needle as a part of the pressure sensor to measure the anterior chamber IOP and a disk-shaped sensor to measure the vitreous cavity IOP. A significant group-by-condition interaction on the vitreous cavity IOP between the two groups (phakia and aphakia) and four conditions of anterior chamber IOP were observed (F[3,258] = 5.8564, p < 0.001). A positive correlation was observed between the vitreous cavity IOP and anterior chamber IOP in both the phakia group (R = 0.96, p < 0.001) and the aphakia group (R = 0.97, p < 0.001). No significant correlation was observed between the ΔIOPv-a (vitreous cavity IOP − anterior chamber IOP) and anterior chamber IOP in either group (phakia group: R = − 0.18, p = 0.034; aphakia group: R = − 0.029, p = 0.73). The vitreous cavity IOP measured with the new sensor was well-correlated with the anterior chamber IOP in the physiological range tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
