Description
Measuring eye pressure usually means touching the eye or puffing air at it, which keeps checks inside clinics. Liying Luo and seven co-authors tested a handheld device in 2025 that reads pressure through the closed eyelid, with no contact at all. They compared it with two standard tools in 189 people, at a first visit and again a month later.
The new device matched both rivals closely, and its repeated readings held steady. No serious side effects appeared. Among patients asked, nearly half preferred the new tool, against fewer than one in five for the air puff device. The authors say it suits home checks, where patients can track pressure on their own.
