ABSTRACT
Abstract

Purpose:

To validate the comparative measurements of intraocular pressure performed with IcarePRO tonometer (IPT) in relation to Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and non-contact tonometer (NCT), as well as to evaluate the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT) on these values.

Methods:

This was a prospective and comparative study conducted during 6 months in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital de Braga, Portugal. The study population comprised two groups healthy adults and adults with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). The IOP values were obtained by the three tonometers and the order of execution was randomly selected. CCT values were obtained by ultrasonic pachymetry.

Results:

A total of 168 eyes (74 with diagnosis of POAG and 94 healthy) of 84 patients were included in this study. The mean IOP values obtained by IPT, GAT and NCT were 17.36±3.78 mmHg; 14.59±3.32 mmHg; and 17.04±4.01 mmHg, respectively. The comparison between IPT and NCT did not reveal statistically significant differences in the two groups studied. However, statistically significant differences were obtained between IPT and GAT values (p <0.001). The IOP values, recorded by all the tonometers, were significantly and positivily correlated with the CCT (p <0.001).

Conclusion:

IOP readings measured by IPT are comparable with those obtained by NCT, but higher than those obtained by the GAT. CCT values are correlated with IOP measurements with IPT, as it does in GAT and NCT, and should be always taken into consideration.
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

Validar os valores de pressão intraocular (IOP) realizados com o tonômetro IcarePRO (IPT) em relação ao tonômetro de aplanação de Goldmann (GAT) e tonômetro de sopro (NCP), assim como avaliar a influência da espessura central da córnea (CCT) nesses valores.

Métodos:

Estudo prospectivo e comparativo realizado durante 6 meses consecutivos no Departamento de Oftalmologia do Hospital de Braga, Portugal. A população estudada compreendeu dois grupos adultos saudáveis e adultos com glaucoma primário de ângulo aberto (POAG). Os valores de IOP foram obtidos pelos três tonômetros e a ordem de execução foi selecionada aleatoriamente. Os valores de CCT foram obtidos por paquimetria ultrassônica.

Resultados:

Um total de 168 olhos (74 com diagnóstico de POAG e 94 saudáveis) de 84 pacientes foram incluídos neste estudo. Os valores médios de IOP obtidos pelo IPT, GAT e NCT foram de 17.36±3.78 mmHg; 14.59±3.32 mmHg; e 17.04±4.01 mmHg, respectivamente. A comparação entre IPT e NCT não revelou as diferenças estatisticamente significativas nos dois grupos estudados. No entanto, foram obtidas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os valores registados pelo IPT em comparação ao GAT (p <0.001). Os valores de IOP, medidos por todos os tonômetros, foram significativamente correlacionados com a CCT (p <0.001).

Conclusão:

As leituras de PIO medidas pelo IPT são comparáveis às obtidas pelo NCT, mas superiores às obtidas pelo GAT. Os valores de CCT estão correlacionados com medidas de IOP, tal como acontece com o GAT e NCT, pelo que devem ser levados em considerados.
