The paper is a methodological study in which three diagnostic screening tests for carotid occlusive disease are discussed in detail: The carotid‐compression tonographic test, the arm‐to‐retina fluorescein circulation time, and the dynamic tonometry method for corneal indentation pulse registration. In subsequent papers the systematic application of these tests to certain clinical groups will be presented.
