ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To assess the agreement between ICare rebound tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometer in the hands of experienced and inexperienced tonometrists. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two tonometrists, experienced with both Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and ICare Tonometry (ICT) measured intraocular pressure (IOP), in a masked fashion, in 100 patients. In another series of 58 patients, ICT was performed by an inexperienced tonometrist and GAT by an experienced tonometrist. RESULTS: In approximately 80% of patients, the difference in IOP between GAT and ICT was Subject(s)
