The internal eye pressure is an important index for judging whether an eye suffers from glaucoma or not. The conventional eye pressure measurement is valid only under the condition that all subjects have the same structural eye stiffness. This paper challenges the stiffness sensing of the human eye by pressing it with a contact probe. The displacement of the eye is captured by a camera with high resolution. We found a nice matching between experimental results and theoretical approach.
