Abstract: | During the second half of the 19th century Donders, Snellen and co-workers of the Utrecht Eye Clinic played an important role in the development of clinical tonometry. These indefatigable researchers designed and built a number of tonometers of which most have been saved and which are now on display in a permanent exhibition in the Royal Netherlands Ophthalmic Hospital at Utrecht. |
