Clinical comparison of the Icare tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometry.
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 ...
متن کاملClinical comparison of Pulsair non-contact tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometer in Indian population.
INTRODUCTION Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) is the gold standard for Intraocular Pressure (IOP) measurement but has disadvantage of being contact device and problems with portability. The aim of the study was to compare the Keeler's Pulsair noncontact tonometer (NCT) with GAT in Indian Population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-one subjects were screened from a Glaucoma clinic of a tertia...
متن کاملGoldmann Tonometer Prism with an Optimized Error Correcting Applanation Surface
PURPOSE We evaluate solutions for an applanating surface modification to the Goldmann tonometer prism, which substantially negates the errors due to patient variability in biomechanics. METHODS A modified Goldmann or correcting applanation tonometry surface (CATS) prism is presented which was optimized to minimize the intraocular pressure (IOP) error due to corneal thickness, stiffness, curva...
متن کاملComparison of IOPen rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometer at different IOP levels.
AIM To compare the accuracy of IOPen rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) in individuals with low, normal and high intraocular pressure (IOP) and to evaluate the effect of central corneal thickness (CCT) on IOP measurements. METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of 159 participants. IOP of one eye of each subject was measured consecutively with IOPen and GAT. The...
متن کاملClinical comparison of the ProTon and Tono-Pen tonometers with the Goldmann applanation tonometer.
A clinical evaluation of a new electron ProTon tonometer was performed comparing the values of intraocular pressure (IOP) measured using this instrument with those determined by a similar instrument, Tono-Pen XL, and by Goldmann applanation tonometry. The mean IOP measured in 106 eyes with the ProTon tonometer was not significantly different from that determined with Goldmann applanation, while...
