Applanation 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...
متن کاملApplanation Tonometry Using One Drop of an Anaesthetic-fluorescein Mixture.
THE Goldmann applanation tonometer (1954), as modified by Goldmann and Schmidt (1957), is becoming the standard instrument for measuring the intra-ocular pressure. The accepted method of preparing the eye for a pressure reading is to anaesthetize the cornea and then to stain the pre-corneal film with fluorescein (DukeElder, 1962). The disadvantage of this method is that it requires two manceuvr...
متن کاملA comparative study of proxymetacaine-fluorescein and lignocaine-fluorescein use during applanation tonometry.
AIMS To evaluate the relative merits of proxymetacaine-fluorescein (PROX-FLU) and lignocaine-fluorescein (LIG-FLU) when used to perform applanation tonometry. METHODS This prospective, masked, double blind study assessed several aspects of the tonometry process-the duration of the stinging sensation and degree of discomfort, the extent of reflex lacrimation induced, the need for subsequent te...
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...
