Comparison of Goldmann applanation tonometry and Pascal dynamic contour tonometry in relation to central corneal thickness and corneal curvature
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to assess the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal curvature in tonometry measurements taken by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and Pascal dynamic contour tonometry (DCT). METHODS This was a prospective study of 185 eyes from 97 subjects, attending outpatient ophthalmology appointments, who underwent intraocular pressure measurements b...
متن کاملComparison of handheld rebound tonometry with Goldmann applanation tonometry in children with glaucoma: a cohort study
OBJECTIVE To test agreement of two methods to measure intraocular pressure (IOP): rebound tonometry (RBT) and gold standard Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in children with glaucoma. DESIGN Observational prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary paediatric glaucoma clinic at a single centre. PARTICIPANTS 102 individuals attending a paediatric glaucoma clinic, mean (SD) age 11.85 (3....
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 کاملCentral corneal thickness and applanation tonometry.
after sub-Tenon anesthesia In their recent article, 1 Subbiah et al. noted that a rigid sub-Tenon cannula caused complications such as a retrobulbar hemorrhage, albeit rarely. The authors concluded that a ‘‘soft cannula’’ could be an ideal alternative for sub-Tenon injection in high-risk patients. We reported the same thing in our Sandwell technique, in which the soft plastic sheath of a Venflo...
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...
