Clinical evaluation of two non-contact tonometers

Abstract: The precision and speed of two non-contact tonometers were examined and compared. The Goldmann applanation tonometer was used as the standard for precision. On the average the results obtained with the non-contact tonometers were not significantly different from those obtained with the Goldmann tonometer. The variation in the values obtained with the non-contact tonometers was greater. The speed of measurement differed between the two non-contact tonometers.

“…However, in many studies, comparisons with Goldmann applanation indicate that the non‐contact tonometer is reliable within the normal IOP range (Forbes et al. , 1974; Koopmans et al. , 1991; Cho and Lui, 1997; Katsushima et al.…”

“…A non-contact tonometer is used to measure IOP, which should give a wider variation in the IOP measurement values than the Goldmann applanation tonometer (Mackie et al, 1996). However, in many studies, comparisons with Goldmann applanation indicate that the non-contact tonometer is reliable within the normal IOP range (Forbes et al, 1974;Koopmans et al, 1991;Cho and Lui, 1997;Katsushima et al, 2002). In particular, it has been reported that the Nidek noncontact tonometer produces repeatable IOP readings and is comparable with the Goldmann applanation tonometer (Cho and Lui, 1997).…”

“…Shinzato (9) também relatou que as medidas da TNC foram significantemente maiores que as da TAG. Gus e col (19) e Koopmans e col (20) sugerem que medidas acima de 20 mmHg na TNC sejam confirmadas pela TAG, para se evitarem decisões clínicas errôneas.…”
