Background: Measurement of intraocular pressure is one the most important examination procedures in ophthalmic clinics, IOP an parameter diagnosis glaucoma. There are numerous types tonometers available, it to evaluate differences readings between different tonometers. Goldmann Applanation Tonometers and non-contact Air-Puff largely available clinics.Aim: The purpose this study difference measu...

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...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between corneal biomechanical properties measured with the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and also CorvisST (CST) tonometry, and glaucomatous visual field (VF) severity. METHODS One hundred forty-six eyes of 91 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who performed Humphrey Field Analyzer 30-2 or 24-2 SITA-Standard, ORA, and CST within 180 days were inc...

This study aims to determine the agreement of patient-measured intraocular pressure (IOP) using rebound tonometry with ophthalmologist-measured IOP using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Fifty-three glaucoma patients used rebound tonometry (Icare ONE, Icare Finland Oy., Finland) to measure their own IOP in ambient environments for 1 week, 5 times per day. Clinic IOP measurements were perfo...

The effect of corneal edema and the effect of penetrating keratoplasty upon the accuracy of electronic applanation tonometry were studied in rabbits. Pressure readings made directly from cannulas in the anterior chamber correlated well with those made by electronic applanation tonometry both in severe corneal edema and 24 hours after penetrating keratoplasty. The advantages of electronic applan...

Glaucoma is the second cause of irreversible blindness in world. Intraocular pressure (IOP) a recognized major risk factor for development and progression glaucomatous damage. Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) internationally accepted as gold standard measurement IOP. The purpose this study was to search correlations between corneal mechanical properties thickness by means vitro tests. IOP m...

PURPOSE To assess the intraocular pressure (IOP) and ocular rigidity (E) at 1, 3, 6 and 24 postoperative months in eyes that underwent LASIK. METHODS The IOP measured by Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and by the 5.5 and 10 gm. weights of a standardized Schioetz tonometer (ST) and the E measured by differential tonometry (the 5.5 and 10 gm. of ST) were assessed before and after LASIK (at...

BACKGROUND Compare Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) prism and correcting applanation tonometry surface (CATS) prism to intracameral intraocular pressure (IOP), in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Pressure transducer intracameral IOP was measured on fifty-eight (58) eyes undergoing cataract surgery and the IOP was modulated manometrically to 10, 20, and 40 mmHg. Simultaneously, IOP was measured ...
