Abstract
A method for assessing glaucoma in a patient may involve measuring an intraocular pressure of the patient and measuring an intracranial pressure in the patient, using a noninvasive eye tracking system. The method may then involve comparing the intraocular pressure to the intracranial pressure and assessing glaucoma in the patient, based on the comparing of the intraocular pressure to the intracranial pressure.
Claims20
A method for assessing glaucoma in a patient, the method comprising:
- measuring an intraocular pressure of the patient using an intraocular pressure measurement device;
- measuring, without contacting the patient and changing the intraocular pressure, an intracranial pressure in the patient using a noninvasive eye tracking system having an eye movement tracking camera;
- receiving, in a computer processor of the noninvasive eye tracking system, the measured intraocular pressure and the measured intracranial pressure;
- comparing, with the computer processor, the intraocular pressure to the intracranial pressure;
- and
- assessing glaucoma in the patient using the computer processor based on comparing the intraocular pressure to the intracranial pressure.
3 more elements
A system for assessing glaucoma in a patient, the system comprising:
- an intraocular pressure measurement device for measuring the patient's intraocular pressure;
- a non-contact, noninvasive eye tracking system having an eye movement tracking camera;
- and
- a computer processor in the noninvasive eye tracking system, wherein the computer processor is configured to:
- calculate an intracranial pressure of the patient based on a measurement of eye tracking of the patient measured with the eye movement tracking camera and without increasing the patient's intraocular pressure;
- compare a measured intraocular pressure of the patient with the calculated intracranial pressure;
- and
- assess glaucoma in the patient based at least in part on the comparison of the intraocular pressure with the intracranial pressure.
