comparison of intraocular pressure measurement with the noncontact pulsair 3000 tonometer and goldmann applanation tonometer
purpose: to compare intraocular pressure (iop) measurement with pulsair non-contact tonometer and goldmann applanation tonometer (gat). methods: in this cross-sectional study, during a complete ophthalmologic examination, each patient underwent pulsair tonometry three times at 5 minutes intervals and then goldmann tonometry at the same intervals. mean iop values were measured and analyzed. resu...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure measurement: Goldmann Applanation Tonometer vs non contact airpuff tonometer.
BACKGROUND An accurate assessment of Intraocular pressure (IOP) is vital in establishing diagnosis of Glaucoma and decision making regarding various treatment modalities available. The purpose of this study is to compare Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) with Air puff tonometer. METHODS Cross-sectional comparative study conducted. 73 eyes from 73 patients were included in this study and in...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of intraocular pressure with an air-puff tonometer versus a Goldmann applanation tonometer
PURPOSE Tonometry, or measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP), is one of the most important examination procedures in ophthalmic clinics, and IOP is an important parameter in the diagnosis of glaucoma. Because there are numerous types of tonometer available, it is important to evaluate the differences in readings between different tonometers. Goldmann applanation tonometers (GATs) and noncont...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Intraocular Pressure Measurement Using Tonopen and Goldmann Applanation Tonometer
Background: Glaucoma is the world's leading cause of preventable irreversible blindness. The most important risk factor of glaucoma is increase in the intraocular pressure.Hence, timely screening by accurate IOP measurements is of utmost importance. In recent years, Tonopen has emerged as an alternative to Goldmann applanation tonometer which is the ‘gold standard’ for IOP measurement because o...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure measurement after penetrating keratoplasty: minified Goldmann applanation tonometer, pneumatonometer, and Tono-Pen versus manometry.
The accuracy of intraocular pressure measurement with the minified Goldmann applanation tonometer, the pneumatonometer, and the Tono-Pen tonometer were compared in post-mortem human eyes which had undergone penetrating keratoplasty. Enucleated post-mortem human eyes underwent same sized (7.75 mm) or 0.5 mm oversized (8.25 mm) autologous penetrating keratoplasty. Intraocular pressure was then se...
