Evaluation of Goldmann applanation tonometry, rebound tonometry and dynamic contour tonometry in keratoconus
PURPOSE To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the rebound tonometry (RT), dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in keratoconic corneas and to investigate the effects of central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal radius of curvature (CR) on IOP measurements. METHODS Sixty-three eyes of 63 keratoconus patients were enrolled in t...
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 کاملApplanation 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 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...
