“…The mean IOP in our patients at diagnosis measured with icare rebound tonometry was 10 mmHG higher than the mean IOP reading measured with (Goldmann) applanation tonometry, and two patients (patients 3 and 11) had a big difference in IOP readings using these techniques at the same visit. Previous studies in non-MPS patients with glaucoma or OHT have confirmed higher readings using rebound tonometry compared to applanation (Rehnman & Martin 2008;Martinezde-la-Casa et al 2009;Flemmons et al 2011;Gandhi et al 2012;Vincent et al 2012). IOP readings measured using icare tonometry in children with MPS should therefore be interpreted with caution and applanation tonometry used wherever possible.…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of rare lysosomal storage disorders, characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans within multiple organ systems including the eye. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of glaucoma in patients with MPS, as well as the characteristics, diagnosis and management of patients with MPS and glaucoma. Methods: A multicentre retrospective case-note review was carried out by ophthalmologists from four tertiary referral centres to identify patients with MPS who had been treated for glaucoma. Clinical ophthalmological data were collected using standardized data collection forms. Results: Fourteen patients were identified (27 eyes) of 294 patients with MPS. The prevalence of glaucoma ranged from 2.1% to 12.5%. The median age at diagnosis of glaucoma was 8 years. Diagnostic evaluation of glaucoma was incomplete in many patients: intraocular pressure was documented in all eyes, but optic disc appearance was only assessed in 67%, central corneal thickness in 26%, visual fields in 19% and iridocorneal angle in 15%. Conclusions: Patients with MPS need regular assessment for possible glaucoma including during childhood. Multiple factors contribute to the challenges of assessment, diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma in these patients.

“…Some studies have suggested overestimation of IOP with RBT relative to GAT as CCT increased (3,(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), and others have suggested that GAT and RBT are equally affected by CCT (7,13,(25)(26)(27).…”

“…Several devices, including the Perkins tonometer, Tono-Pen, Pascal tonometer (dynamic contour), and non-contact tonometer, can provide reliable values in adults (1)(2)(3)(4) . However, in general practice, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement can be difficult in children due to a lack of cooperation.…”

Tonometry is fundamental to routine ophthalmological evaluation, and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is the gold standard method. Several devices, including the Perkins tonometer, Tono-Pen, Pascal tonometer (dynamic contour), and non-contact tonometer, can provide reliable values in adults (1)(2)(3)(4) . However, in general practice, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement can be difficult in children due to a lack of cooperation. ABSTRACTPurpose: High intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor for a variety of pediatric ophthalmic conditions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, length of examination, and corneal epithelial damage induced by rebound tonometry (RBT) versus Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in school children. Methods: Healthy children (n=57) participated in a randomized, transversal study with IOP measurement by GAT followed by RBT (study arm 1) or RBT followed by GAT (study arm 2). The number of attempts to acquire a reliable IOP measurement and the length of the examination were quantified. Corneal epithelial damage induced by tonometry was evaluated. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to establish the level of agreement between the two techniques. Results: The IOP was measured in all children with at least one of the devices. In both study arms, more children failed to be examined with GAT than with RBT (26% vs. 4%, and 16% vs. 6%, p<0.001, in study arm 1 and 2, respectively). The length of examination was shorter for RBT than for GAT (67.81 s ± 35.20 s vs. 126.70 s ± 56.60 s; p<0.0001); IOP measurements with RBT in both study arms were higher than those with GAT (15.20 ± 2.74 mmHg vs. 13.25 ± 2.47 mmHg, p=0.0247 and 16.76 ± 3.99 mmHg vs. 13.92 ± 2.08 mmHg, p=0.003, respectively). No difference was observed between RBT and GAT regarding the corneal epithelial damage caused by tonometry. Conclusion: IOP measurement is feasible in a greater number of children with RBT, and the examination was faster than that for GAT. Compared with GAT, RBT tended to overestimate the IOP. None of the methods induced marked corneal epithelial defects.
