1. A method for measuring an outflow resistance of an eye, the method comprising:

  • applying a pressure to an eye;

    measuring the applied pressure;

    directly measuring a volume change of the eye created by the applied pressure to the eye;

    computing an outflow rate of fluid from the eye based on the measured volume change of the eye over time; and

    determining the outflow resistance of the eye as a function of a ratio of the applied pressure and the outflow rate.
