Intraocular Pressure Measurement after Penetrating Keratoplasty
Assessing the intraocular pressure is a difficult but crucial task in the follow-up of patients that have undergone penetrating keratoplasty. Early recognition of elevated intraocular pressure and/or glaucoma and establishment of the appropriate ...

Initial experience in self-monitoring of intraocular pressure. [PDF]
Background/aims: Diurnal variation in intraocular pressure (IOP) is a routine assessment in glaucoma management. Providing patients the opportunity to perform self-tonometry might empower them and free hospital resource.

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.

Intraocular pressure in a cohort of healthy Eastern European schoolchildren: variations in method and corneal thickness [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Intraocular pressure (IOP) in the developing eye of a child is not always easy to measure and there is no technique that is known to be the most accurate for the young eye. Measurements are needed on many cohorts of children with different

Alterations in vascular function in primary aldosteronism - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]
Introduction: Excess aldosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone has a permissive effect on vascular fibrosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows study of vascular function by measuring aortic ...

Dynamic contour tonometry versus Goldmann applanation tonometry: challenging the gold standard [PDF]
The accurate measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) is fundamental to almost any ophthalmic examination. Dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) was introduced 5 years ago as an entirely novel contact tonometry principle designed to measure IOP largely ...
