nhãn áp kí
Definition
- Noun:
- Tonometer (specifically, a recording tonometer): A medical instrument used to measure and record the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure). The term specifically refers to a device that provides a continuous or graphical record of the pressure measurement.
Usage Examples
- Noun:
- Bác sĩ sử dụng nhãn áp kí để theo dõi sự thay đổi nhãn áp trong ngày của bệnh nhân. (The doctor uses a tonometer to monitor the patient's intraocular pressure fluctuations throughout the day.)
- Nhãn áp kí tự ghi cung cấp một biểu đồ chi tiết về chỉ số nhãn áp. (The recording tonometer provides a detailed chart of the intraocular pressure readings.)
Advanced Usage
- The term "nhãn áp kí" (or "nhãn áp kí tự ghi") is a specialized clinical term. In general medical contexts, the simpler term "nhãn áp kế" (tonometer) is more commonly used.
- It is a key diagnostic tool in ophthalmology for managing conditions like glaucoma.
Variants and Related Words
- Nhãn áp kế (n): Tonometer. The general term for any instrument measuring eye pressure.

Synonyms

- Tonograph: An alternative technical term for a recording tonometer.
Notes
- This is a highly technical medical term. In most patient-facing explanations or general texts, the word "tonometer" or the phrase "machine to check eye pressure" is used instead.
- The instrument is crucial for the early detection and monitoring of glaucoma, a disease characterized by increased intraocular pressure.
