Goldmann-Favre syndrome, which is caused by mutation of the NR2E3 gene, is a retinal degenerative disease with a wide spectrum of phenotypic properties. Variations in clinical presentation result in difficulties in differential diagnosis. In this article, Goldmann-Favre syndrome cases with different clinical findings are presented. Clinical characteristics of our cases were reviewed and discuss...

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...

Background/aim: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements taken by the Goldmann applanation tonometer, the Tono-Pen and the ocular blood flow pneumotonometer in eyes with varying central corneal thickness (CCT) due to penetrating keratoplasty (PK), keratoconus (KC), and Fuchs’ endothelial dystrophy (FED). Methods: IOP was measured with the Goldmann applanation tonometer, Tono-Pen XL, a...

BACKGROUND Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) error relative to intracameral intraocular pressure (IOP) has not been examined comparatively in both human cadaver eyes and in live human eyes. Futhermore, correlations to biomechanical corneal properties and positional changes have not been examined directly to intracameral IOP and GAT IOP. METHODS Intracameral IOP was measured via pressure tr...

OBJECTIVE To compare manual kinetic perimetry with tangent screen and Goldmann techniques and automated static perimetry with the Humphrey Field Analyzer in the detection and localization of occipital lobe lesions. DESIGN Prospective consecutive comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS Twelve patients with well-defined occipital lobe infarcts on magnetic resonance (MR) imaging were studied. ...

CORNEAL thickness may not only affect IOP measurements performed with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) but may also be linked to the aetiology of glaucoma itself. However, there is no practical or reliable means at present to adjust IOP measurements in individual patients for variations in corneal thickness, James Brandt MD, professor of ophthalmology and director, glaucoma service, Univers...
