A comparative study of proxymetacaine-fluorescein and lignocaine-fluorescein use during applanation tonometry.
AIMS To evaluate the relative merits of proxymetacaine-fluorescein (PROX-FLU) and lignocaine-fluorescein (LIG-FLU) when used to perform applanation tonometry. METHODS This prospective, masked, double blind study assessed several aspects of the tonometry process-the duration of the stinging sensation and degree of discomfort, the extent of reflex lacrimation induced, the need for subsequent te...
متن کاملApplanation Tonometry Using Anaesthetic-fluorescein Mixture.
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...
متن کاملApplanation Tonometry Using One Drop of an Anaesthetic-fluorescein Mixture.
THE Goldmann applanation tonometer (1954), as modified by Goldmann and Schmidt (1957), is becoming the standard instrument for measuring the intra-ocular pressure. The accepted method of preparing the eye for a pressure reading is to anaesthetize the cornea and then to stain the pre-corneal film with fluorescein (DukeElder, 1962). The disadvantage of this method is that it requires two manceuvr...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Rebound Tonometry With Tonopen and Goldmann Applanation Tonometry Following Vitreoretinal Surgery.
PURPOSE To investigate agreement in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements among Icare rebound tonometry, Tonopen tonometry, and Goldmann applanation tonometry following vitreoretinal surgery. DESIGN Reliability analysis of tonometers. METHODS Fifty-eyes of 50 adults undergoing vitreoretinal surgery were enrolled. IOP was measured on first postoperative day using Icare (Tiolat, Helsinki, F...
