Estimating intraocular pressure using a glass rod.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four masked examiners studied the usefulness of the glass-rod for estimating intraocular pressure (IOP) in a living, anesthetized rabbit eye manometrically set to 135 different random values. With training, the average error in IOP estimation improved from 7.42 +/- 5.56 mmHg to 5.13 +/- 4.48 mmHg. Gentle palpation of the corneal apex with a glass-rod provides tactile and visual clues that may assist in estimating the IOP.

Background & Aims: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PXS) is a complex disorder which causes an increase in intraocular pressure (IOP). This study was conducted in order to compare IOP of both eyes of patients with unilateral PXS. Methods: In a cross-sectional study from January 2011 to June 2012, 79 patients with unilateral PXS were studied. The patients were examined first with constricted, and the...
