Smartphone Tonometer Meets Clinical Standards
In a proof-of-concept study, researchers have determined that a smartphone tonometer that uses a machine-learning algorithm can accurately calculate IOP. After comparing its measurements with those recorded by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and other commonly used tonometers, the researchers found them grossly equivalent to the reference standard.
The study assessed 92 eyes of 81 participants. The smartphone tonometer uses fixed-force applanation in conjunction with an algorithm that detects the tonometer circle and the mire from each frame in the smartphone measurement, thereby calculating the IOP. The researchers also measured all subjects using GAT, while a subset were measured…

Women who have influenced the field of optometry
Somewhere back around 1899, Gertrude Stanton of Minneapolis, Minnesota became the first licensed female optometrist. She was soon followed by Mollie Armstrong, who opened her own practice, and became the second female optometrist in the United States. Since then, women have been working hard to make a name for themselves in the industry.
