The effect of corneal thickness on
applanation tonometry. Am J Ophthalmol 1993;115(5):592-6.
Intraocular pressure can be measured by
applanation tonometry in corneas larger than 9 mm in diameter, whereas rebound tonometry may be a better alternative in individuals with smaller corneas.
The studied and control groups did not significantly differ in regards to indicators of
applanation tonometry during the first visit.
The relative effects of corneal thickness and age on Goldmann
applanation tonometry and dynamic contour tonometry.
Subjects were included in this experiment if baseline intraocular pressure (IOP)wasbelow22 mmHg in both eyes in a Goldmann
applanation tonometry examination, findings were normal in slit lamp and funduscopic examinations, and refractive error was within a range of -8.5 to -0.5 diopters (mean of the included subjects: -2.2 [+ or -] 2.0).
Eye examination included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) for far and near vision, slit lamp biomicroscopy, IOP measurements with Goldmann
applanation tonometry, corneal pachymetry, gonioscopy, dilated fundus examination, and horizontal cup-disc (C/D) ratio evaluation.
Effect of Central Corneal Thickness on Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Goldmann
Applanation Tonometry in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.
Intraocular pressures as measured by
applanation tonometry were 12 mmHg in both eyes, and a dilated fundoscopic examination revealed bilateral serous retinal detachment and optic disc edema (Figure 1a).
Peripheral artery pressure waveforms were evaluated non-invasively using
applanation tonometry. The measurement of aortic PWV was performed with the SphygmoCor system (AtCor Medical, Sydney, Australia) after an overnight fast and 24 hours off any antihypertensive medications.
The investigators used
applanation tonometry to capture radial pulse waveforms at four time points in 70 women with preeclampsia undergoing magnesium therapy for seizure prophylaxis.
Arterial stiffness in both smokers and non-smokers was measured using a new but well-established method called
applanation tonometry.
Also at 15 years, 102 patients had an
applanation tonometry assessment that determined their central arterial stiffness.
