Comparison Of Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Measured By Non-Contact (Air–Puff) Tonometer Compared With Goldmann Applanation Tonometer

Background: Measurement of intraocular pressure is one the most important examination procedures in ophthalmic clinics, IOP an parameter diagnosis glaucoma. There are numerous types tonometers available, it to evaluate differences readings between different tonometers. Goldmann Applanation Tonometers and non-contact Air-Puff largely available clinics.Aim: The purpose this study difference measurements taken by a GAT those Air Puff Tonometer observe reliability be screening tool.Material Methods: This was performed on 200 eyes from 100 participants (including: Relatives patients, medical students, nurses patients complaining errors refraction). attending outpatient clinic. visual acuity, Refraction, fundus examination, corneal thickness were assessed for each participant; Also, patient’s measured using both tonometry, two methods calculated.Result: mean 14.48±2.29 mmHg, while that tonometer 16.34±2.3 mmHg. measurement 1.855 obtained higher than highly statistically significant.Conclusion: non-contact, air puff, produces which similar & consistent gold standard GAT. Our indicated there good consistency
