Abstract
Reliable and repeated IOP measurement are essential in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma. In this first part of this review, besides the physiological basics, contact tonometry will be presented, which is both the first instrumental method with the indentation tonometers and the gold standard with the Goldmann applanation tonometer. Both methods and subsequently developments will be discussed.
