Intraocular pressure measurement is important to identify people who are at risk of glaucoma. Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is considered the gold standard with regards to evaluating patients with glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition. The professional execution of this evaluation is critical in the reduction of associated complication rates. This article seeks to put forward a structured le...

purpose: to assess alterations in parameters measured by the ocular response analyzer (ora) after photorefractive keratectomy (prk) with or without 0.02% mitomycin c (mmc) in myopic eyes. methods: in 33 right eyes of 33 patients, iop was determined using the goldmann applanation tonometry (gat) before and 3 months after prk. corneal hysteresis (ch), corneal resistance factor (crf), goldmann-cor...

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...

PURPOSE To evaluate the Proview Eye Pressure Monitor as a medical instrument and as a technique for enabling a patient to obtain an accurate measure of his or her intraocular pressure (IOP). DESIGN An experimental laboratory evaluation and an independent prospective clinical study to test the reproducibility and accuracy of the Proview technique relative to Goldmann applanation tonometry. P...

T measurement of central corneal thickness (CCT) by pachymetry plays an integral part of the contemporary glaucoma workup. It is one of the relatively simple and straightforward ancillary tests performed today in the clinic. Clinicians have embraced this measure since the emergence of understanding its impact on the accuracy of tonometry such as Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). GAT, which ...

Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) has been the gold standard for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement for over five decades. However, the last few years have seen lots of research in an effort to develop the ultimate tonometer. One of the outcomes of that effort is the rebound tonometer (RBT) (Icare; Tiolat Oy, Helsinki, Finland), which has appeared in clinical practice after extensive res...

PURPOSE To compare a new method of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, using the Icare tonometer, with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Two observers obtained IOP readings in 292 eyes (143 right and 149 left) of 153 subjects, using the Icare without topical anesthetic. A GAT reading was subsequently obtained by a consultant ophthalmologist, without the knowledge ...
