متن کاملClinical 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 کاملGoldmann and error correcting tonometry prisms compared to intracameral pressure
BACKGROUND Compare Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) prism and correcting applanation tonometry surface (CATS) prism to intracameral intraocular pressure (IOP), in vivo and in vitro. METHODS Pressure transducer intracameral IOP was measured on fifty-eight (58) eyes undergoing cataract surgery and the IOP was modulated manometrically to 10, 20, and 40 mmHg. Simultaneously, IOP was measured ...
متن کاملComparison of three methods of tonometry in normal subjects: Goldmann applanation tonometer, non-contact airpuff tonometer, and Tono-Pen XL
OBJECTIVE WE AIMED TO COMPARE INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE (IOP) MEASUREMENTS VIA THREE DIFFERENT TONOMETERS: the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), the Tono-Pen(®) XL (TPXL), and a non-contact airpuff tonometer (NCT). METHODS This was a cross-sectional study of 200 eyes from 200 patients. Right eyes of all patients were included in this study. IOP was measured via GAT, NCT, and TPXL by three phys...
