247 ©Copyright 2017 by Turkish Ophthalmological Association Turkish Journal of Ophthalmology, published by Galenos Publishing House. Dear Editor, The recent publication on “Pediatric Patients and Tonometers” is interesting.1 Eraslan et al.1 concluded that “Because Tono-Pen (TP) measurements were lower than Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) measurements and non-contact tonometer measurements ...

The treatment of patients suffering from cerebral blindness following stroke is a topic of much recent interest. Several types of treatment are under investigation, such as substitution with prisms and compensation training of saccades. A third approach, aimed at vision restitution is controversial, as a proper controlled study design is missing. In the current study, 27 chronic stroke patients...

PURPOSE To assess the reproducibility of the ocular response analyzer (ORA) in nonoperated eyes and the impact of corneal biomechanical properties on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in normal and glaucomatous eyes. METHODS In the reliability study, two independent examiners obtained repeated ORA measurements in 30 eyes. In the clinical study, the examiners analyzed ORA and IOP-Goldman...

The riddle of the σ is recast in a way that tries to differentiate fact from fiction as a basis for future/further discussion. By doing this, it is hoped that the role of the σ as dominating the ubitiquitous ππ interactions below 1 GeV and its relation to the QCD vacuum can be clarified. In this talk, I will start to answer some of the questions that Lucien Montanet listed in his introduction a...

Several authors (Anderson and Grant, I973; Galin, Mclvor, and Magruder, I963; HetlandEriksen, I966; Kriegelstein and Langham, 1975a; Roberts and Rogers, I964; Tarkkanen and Leikola, I967) have reported that in normal subjects and in glaucomatous patients the intraocular pressure (IOP) in the supine position is about 2-5 mmHg higher than in the seated position. The measurements were carried out ...
