摘要

Proper and regular calibration of eye-tonometers is crucial, as inaccurate intraocular pressure measurements can lead to both underdiagnosis and overtreatment of glaucoma. Ensuring measurement accuracy is therefore vital for safe and reliable clinical practice. The article focuses on regional cooperation in ensuring the metrological traceability of eye-tonometers in Central European countries. It describes the joint activities aimed at exchanging expertise and improving the quality of intraocular pressure measurements. The cooperation also included a study the developed reference (transfer-standard) devices, the results of which contribute to enhanced reliability of clinical measurements and to the promotion of unified metrological standards within the region. The cooperation will gradually have a direct impact on clinical practice and patient safety. More accurate and comparable intraocular pressure measurements will enable better diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma, optimization of treatment procedures, and reduced risk of misinterpretation of results.
