Cost–benefit analysis of screening programme for diabetic retinopathy in Bulgaria
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Aims Late‐diagnosed diabetic retinopathy (DR) is difficult and expensive to treat. Screening programmes can identify the disease early and reduce the costs of its future treatment. This study aims to analyse the cost–benefit of screening programmes for DR.

Evaluation of a new rebound tonometer for self-measurement of intraocular pressure [PDF]
, 2015 Background/aims To compare the accuracy of self-obtained, partner-obtained and trainer-obtained measurements using the handheld Icare Home rebound tonometer with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and to evaluate the acceptability to subjects of ...

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.Our study demonstrates that UV cross‐linking (CXL) reduces outflow facility while increasing corneal elasticity across IOP levels of 20–40 mmHg, measured using direct manometry and non‐contact optical coherence elastography. These results highlight both parameters as potential indicators for evaluating CXL effectiveness and monitoring keratoconus ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
, 2017 Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

A Systematic Review Regarding Tonometry and the Transmission of Infectious Diseases
Journal of Clinical Medicine Research, 2018 Tonometry has been identified as a common method for measuring the intraocular pressure in patients. The direct contact between the tonometer and the eye may contribute to the risk of cross infection, especially of viral particles, from one patient to ...
