Intraocular pressure in a cohort of healthy Eastern European schoolchildren: variations in method and corneal thickness [PDF]
, 2012 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

Dynamic contour tonometry versus Goldmann applanation tonometry: challenging the gold standard [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...

Reutilization of disposable rebound tonometer probes: Risk or return?
Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2023 Purpose: An advantage of rebound tonometry (RT) is its ease of use so that it can also be operated by health care technicians. However, the cost of the disposable measuring probes is high and their reuse carries the risk of infection.

Feeling the pressure: a cross-sectional study exploring feasibility of a healthcare Pop-Up for intraocular pressure measurements in shopping centres in England [PDF]
, 2019 OBJECTIVES: To test the hypothesis that a shopping centre Pop-Up health check combining an intraocular pressure (IOP) check with a general health check (blood pressure (BP)) is more readily accepted by the general public than an IOP check only.

Comparison of Dynamic Contour Tonometry with Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2004 The dynamic contour tonometer (DCT; Pascal tonometer) is a novel tonometer designed to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) independent of corneal properties. The purpose of this study was a comparison of the DCT with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) with respect to mean of IOP readings, the influence of ocular structural factors on IOP readings,

On the Validity of the Imbert-Fick Law: Mathematical Modelling of Eye Pressure Measurement [PDF]
, 2016 YesOphthalmologists rely on a device known as the Goldmann applanation tonometer to make intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements. It measures the force required to press a flat disc against the cornea to produce a flattened circular region of known ...

Accuracy of Schiotz Tonometry in Measuring the Intraocular Pressure After Corneal Refractive Surgery
Journal of Optometry, 2008 Purpose: To test the accuracy of Schiotz tonometry (ST) in patients that underwent photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Methods: 175 eyes previously treated with PRK for myopia, myopic astigmatism or mixed astigmatism, with a mean preoperative spherical ...
