Utilizing the principles of Gagne’s nine events of instruction in the teaching of Goldmann Applanation Tonometry

چکیده
Intraocular pressure measurement is important to identify people who are at risk of glaucoma. Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is considered the gold standard with regards to evaluating patients with glaucoma, a sight-threatening condition. The professional execution of this evaluation is critical in the reduction of associated complication rates. This article seeks to put forward a structured lesson plan for ophthalmology trainees, specialist nurses, and optometrists, which integrates Gagne's nine events of instruction to accomplish this objective.

Will Goldmann applanation tonometry, the age old “gold standard” of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, be replaced with newer methods? One of the newer methods of IOP measurement is PASCAL dynamic contour tonometry (DCT). A review of the history, scientific principles, clinical validation and clinical utility of DCT is presented.
متن کاملTwo-position measurement of intraocular pressure by PT100 noncontact tonometry in comparison with Goldmann tonometry
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the precision of intraocular pressure measurements obtained by PT100 noncontact tonometry in a handheld and slit lamp-mounted position in comparison with that of Goldmann applanation tonometry in healthy young adults. METHODS Sixty eyes from 60 subjects (30 men and 30 women) aged 22 ± 1 (range 20-24) years participated in this study. Tripli...
