Applanation resonance tonometry for intraocular pressure measurement
3 Doubt is the beginning of wisdom. (René Descartes) 4 5 1 Abstract Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for glaucoma. Since glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, reliable methods for measuring the IOP are important. This doctoral dissertation presents a new method, applanation resonance tonometry (ART), for measurement of IOP. The method is based on resonanc...
متن کامل[Rebound tonometry in a clinical setting. Comparison with applanation tonometry].
PURPOSE Rebound tonometry has recently been modified for its use in humans. The purpose of our study was to determine the precision of the ICare(R) rebound tonometer (RBT) as compared with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). METHODS Patients were recruited from our Hospital's Glaucoma Unit. In each patient, intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured without anaesthesia using the RBT and te...
متن کاملComparison Between Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
PURPOSE To compare the intraocular pressures (IOPs) measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and to investigate the association of IOPs on eyes of varying central corneal thickness (CCT). METHODS In this prospective study, 451 eyes of 233 subjects were enrolled. IOPs were measured by GAT and DCT. CCT was measured three times and the average was cal...
متن کاملGoldmann applanation tonometry versus i-care rebound tonometry
T he main purpose of my study was to compare the i-care tonometer to the Goldmann in terms of accuracy. Obviously when it comes to measuring IOP, accuracy is the most important aspect of any method of tonometry. However, there are other things to consider... patient comfort, repeatability (both inter and intra-practitioner) and who can actually use the device. So not only did I record the IOP r...
متن کاملApplanation Tonometry Using Anaesthetic-fluorescein Mixture.
SIRs,-In your April issue (Brit. J. Ophthal., 1965, 49, 205) you published my paper "Applanation Tonometry using One Drop of an Anaesthetic-Fluorescein Mixture". This paper recommended a mixture containing 0 3 per cent. Novesine and 0)125 per cent. fluorescein; one drop gave good corneal anaesthesia and a good fluorescent ring for Goldmann applanation tonometry. Of the eight anaesthetic solutio...
