Purpose This short study aims at quantitatively correlating scale readings of the Goldmann tonometer to corneal curvatures in one and the same eye. Methods A total of 30 eyes of 21 adult patients who ...

To compare the measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) with dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in healthy and glaucomatous eyes and to evaluate the influence ...

Dr. Rhee answers the question: 'What Is Tonometry?' Aug. 24, 2009— -- Question: What is tonometry and how is it used to diagnose glaucoma? Answer: Tonometry refers to the technique of measuring ...

Calibration errors on a Goldmann applanation tonometer may lead to inaccurate assessment of a patient’s IOP. Researchers examining 125 eyes of 125 patients measured ...

Ocular pulse amplitude may diminish the accuracy and reliability of Goldmann applanation tonometry, a study found. The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA, Reichert) was used to measure Goldmann-correlated ...

Real Potential for Self-tonometry? Glaucoma is often a disease of subtleties. A tiny notch of rim tissue, an extra point of visual field depression, or even a single 1-mm Hg change in intraocular ...

For over 90 years Keeler has continued to innovate, design and manufacture world class ophthalmic instruments in our Windsor factory. The Keeler Applanation Tonometer (KAT) is a perfect example of ...

The stiffness of the arterial wall can be determined through the pulse wave velocity, which can be measured by use of an applanation tonometer. Scientists discovered that this stiffness has predictive ...

As a fundamental component of the ocular examination, accurate measurement of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) facilitates the management of patients with established glaucoma and the identification of ...
