Goldmann applanation tonometry versus i-care rebound tonometry
نویسنده
چکیده
T he main purpose of my study was to compare the i-care tonometer to the Goldmann in terms of accuracy. Obviously when it comes to measuring IOP, accuracy is the most important aspect of any method of tonometry. However, there are other things to consider... patient comfort, repeatability (both inter and intra-practitioner) and who can actually use the device. So not only did I record the IOP readings from both instruments but I also asked all the patients to assign a comfort value from 1-5 for the Goldmann and for the i-care, where 1 was the most comfortable and 5 was the least. These values were assigned only after both methods had been performed.

متن کاملAgreement of patient-measured intraocular pressure using rebound tonometry with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in glaucoma patients
This study aims to determine the agreement of patient-measured intraocular pressure (IOP) using rebound tonometry with ophthalmologist-measured IOP using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). Fifty-three glaucoma patients used rebound tonometry (Icare ONE, Icare Finland Oy., Finland) to measure their own IOP in ambient environments for 1 week, 5 times per day. Clinic IOP measurements were perfo...

Title Evaluation of a new rebound tonometer for self-measurement of intraocular pressure Subtitle Self-measurement using Icare Home showed good agreement with Goldmann applanation tonometry. Icare Home self-measurement was well accepted and reliable results obtained by 3 in 4 subjects, suggesting potential use for home measurement of intraocular pressure.
