The IOP measurement method allows the patient's eyes to look down naturally. The examiner touches the eyeball with the tips of the two index fingers from above the upper edge of the eyelid. The rest of the fingers are placed on the forehead of the patient for support. Estimate the level of eye pressure based on the sense of fluctuation transmitted to your fingertips.
