Comparison of dynamic contour tonometry with Goldmann applanation tonometry in glaucoma practice

. Purpose:  To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) readings taken using dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) with IOP readings taken with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in eyes with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Methods:  The present study included 100 eyes in 100 patients with glaucoma or ocular...

Description
Summary:. Purpose:  To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) readings taken using dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) with IOP readings taken with Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in eyes with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Methods:  The present study included 100 eyes in 100 patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. After pachymetry DCT and GAT were performed. Intraocular pressures as measured with DCT and GAT were compared with one another and with central corneal thickness (CCT). Results:  Mean DCT IOP measurements (20.1 ± 4.3 mmHg) were significantly (p
