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.

Intraocular pressure after myopic laser refractive surgery measured with a new Goldmann convex prism: correlations with GAT and ORA [PDF]
, 2022 Background: The purpose of this study is to describe measurements using a newly developed modified Goldmann convex tonometer (CT) 1 year after myopic laser refractive surgery. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements were compared with IOP values obtained

Dynamics of Droplet Generation from Corneal Tear Film during Non-contact Eye Procedure in the Context of COVID-19 [PDF]
, 2020 Non-invasive medical diagnostics demonstrate a propensity for droplet generation and should be studied to devise risk mitigation strategies against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. We investigate the air-puff tonometry, which uses a short-timed air-puff to applanate the human eye in a bid to detect the early onset of glaucoma by measuring the ...

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,

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 ...

Self-monitoring av intraocular pressure and its clinical application [PDF]
, 2022 Purpose: Measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most common ophthalmologic examinations, especially within glaucoma management. An elevated IOP is a major risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma, and is so far the only
