Applanation tonometry versus dynamic contour tonometry in eyes treated with latanoprost.

چکیده
PURPOSE To examine the differences between Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) and Dynamic Contour Tonometry (DCT) associated with latanoprost use. METHODS Twenty-four eyes (of 24 patients) treated with latanoprost monotherapy (latanoprost group, LG), 11 eyes (of 11 patients) not receiving prostaglandin analogs (nonlatanoprost group, NLG), and 20 eyes of 20 nonglaucomatous patients (control group, CG) were included. GAT, DCT, measurement of central corneal thickness and axial length of the eyeball were performed. The difference between GAT and DCT intraocular pressure (dIOP) was calculated. Differences in dIOP among LG, NLG, and CG and correlations of dIOP with other clinical parameters were examined. RESULTS dIOP was significantly higher in LG, compared with NLG or CG. The correlations of dIOP with axial length of the eyeball were statistically significant in the LG but not in NLG or CG. The correlations of dIOP with central corneal thickness, patients' age, and duration of latanoprost use (LG) were statistically not significant. CONCLUSIONS The fact that dIOP was significantly higher in LG, compared with NLG and CG implies that latanoprost may affect the biomechanical properties of the ocular walls.

Differences between Goldmann Applanation Tonometry and Dynamic Contour Tonometry following Trabeculectomy
Background. To evaluate differences between Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) and Dynamic Controur Tonometry (DCT) following trabeculectomy. Methods. Thirty eight glaucomatous eyes with a history of trabeculectomy (Trabeculectomy group, TG), 20 eyes without a history of trabeculectomy but with a history of latanoprost use (Latanoprost group, LG), and 19 nonglaucomatous eyes (Control group, C...
متن کاملDynamic contour tonometry and goldman applanation tonometry in eyes with keratoconus.
PURPOSE The dynamic contour tonometer is a nonapplanation contact tonometer designed to be largely independent of the structural properties of the cornea. Theoretically, it may measure intraocular pressure most accurately in abnormally thinner corneas. This study compares intraocular pressure measurements by dynamic contour tonometry with Goldman applanation tonometry in eyes with normal cornea...

Correlation between diurnal variation of intraocular pressure, ocular pulse amplitude and corneal structural properties.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fluctuation of intraocular pressure measurements obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometry, dynamic contour tonometry, and corneal compensated non-contact tonometry during office hours in glaucoma and healthy participants. This study also aims at correlating the intraocular pressure fluctuations with fluctuations of corneal hysteresis, cent...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure measurements with Goldmann applanation tonometry and dynamic contour tonometry in eyes after IntraLASIK or LASEK
BACKGROUND AND METHODS Myopic photorefractive surgery induces a reduction in central corneal thickness, which may lead to underestimation of intraocular pressure. This retrospective clinical study compared intraocular pressure measurements obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT-Pascal) in eyes undergoing myopic intralaser-assisted in situ keratomileu...
