Comparison of Rebound and Applanation Tonometry in Eyes With Focal Corneal Edema. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objective To determine the effect of corneal edema on intraocular pressure (IOP) readings and their accuracy and precision when obtained with handheld rebound and applanation tonometers. Animals and Procedures IOP readings from areas of focal corneal edema were compared to those from clear cornea in 10 eyes of 7 glaucomatous cats in vivo using

Intraocular pressure monitoring by rebound tonometry in children with myopia
Background/Purpose: Topical atropine treatment is generally accepted to retard the progression of myopia, but it is associated with side effects such as photophobia and elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). IOP measurements in children are challenging.
