Ocular Surface Displacement with and without Contact Lenses during Non-Contact Tonometry

PLoS ONE, 2014
To evaluate the displacement of the central ocular surface during non-contact tonometry with and without soft contact lenses and determine the factors associated with the displacement of the central ocular surface and intraocular pressure (IOP) reading changes caused by wearing soft contact lenses (CLs).One eye each in 21 subjects was studied.

Ocular Response Analyzer versus Goldmann Applanation Tonometry for Intraocular Pressure Measurements

Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2006
To establish correlations between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the ocular response analyzer (ORA) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). The effects of central corneal thickness on the measures obtained were also examined.This was a cross-sectional study.

24-h Efficacy of Glaucoma Treatment Options [PDF]

, 2016
Current management of glaucoma entails the medical, laser, or surgical reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) to a predetermined level of target IOP, which is commensurate with either stability or delayed progression of visual loss.
