Dynamic tonometry was performed in 22 patients with temporal arteritis. Ocular involvement was recognized by a statistically significant reduction of intraocular pressure and a marked and characteristic reduction of the corneal indentation pulse (CIP) amplitudes. Relative crest time evaluation of the CIP amplitudes demonstrated a typical increase characteristic for vascular obstruction. Evidence of impaired ocular blood supply was demonstrated also in eyes and patients with full vision, the diagnosis being later confirmed by a temporal artery biopsy.
