In the publication "Modulation of Human Intraocular Pressure Using a Pneumatic System" we were able to implement a highly accurate and reproducible modulation of intraocular pressure in humans for the first time. For this purpose, we developed a pneumatic modulator in cooperation with Imedos Systems GmbH. In order to increase the intraocular pressure, a small balloon, which is attached to a spectacle frame at the height of the eyelid angle, is inflated. This induces reactions of the blood vessels in the area of the optic nerve head, which are used to determine the pressure conditions in the vessels. In a next step, conclusions can be drawn about pathologically altered regulatory processes of the eye, such as those present in glaucoma. Within the work we could determine the time window in which a reliable determination of the pressure conditions is possible and show basic physiological effects of the pressure modulation.
