Daily Pressure Curve

  • First Online:
The Glaucomas

Abstract

Monitoring the intraocular pressure appears for the first time in the oriental world in Russia, where Maslenikow [1] in 1904 did the first daily pressure curve (DPC) with the first worldwide applanation tonometer done by Maklakoff [2] in 1885. Over 21 years later, in the western world, in Sweden, 1925, Hagen [3] made the second DPC with the Schiötz [4] tonometer which was presented worldwide for the first time in 1904.
