Maximising the sensitivity and specificity of non-contact tonometry in glaucoma screening. Eye 1991;5:491-3. 3. Vernon SA, Jones SJ. Intraocular pressure asymmetry in a popUlation tested with the Pulsair noncontact tonometer. Eye 1991;5:674-7. 4. Piltz JR, Starita R, Miron M, Henkind P...
For paired-eye comparison in each patient, both eyes were categorized into a better-eyes group and a worse-eyes group according to lower and higher corneal-compensated intraocular pressure readings, respectively. Statistical analysis was carried out with the independent-samples Student's t-test, ...
Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that gradually damages the optic nerve and may lead to blindness. Screening tests look for high pressure within the eye, to find and treat glaucoma before it damages the optic nerve. Glaucoma Screening Eye tests for glaucoma are based on age and personal r...

Comparison of simultaneous readings of intraocular pressure in rabbits using Perkins handheld, Tono-Pen XL, and TonoVet tonometers Noninvasive techniques for intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement are widely used in animal studies. In experimental glaucoma research, the level of IOP is... G Kalesnyk...
It was reported in 195 7 by Jensen and Matson35 that rearing in continuous illumination modifies eye-growth in the chick. Equatorial and axial dimensions are increased , the cornea is flattened , and the eyes develop reduced outflow facility and increased intra-ocular pressure. This . ...
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the bovine eye develops elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) in response to topical corticosteroid use and to develop a reliable model of steroid-induced elevation of IOP in an animal. METHODS: Intraocular pressure was monitored by Perkins applanation tonometry in ...
The non-glaucoma patients were volunteers selected from eye clinic patients. All enrolled patients underwent 24-hour \\\{IOP\\\} and blood pressure monitoring via 2-hourly \\\{IOP\\\} and blood pressure (BP) measurements. All readings were taken in the sitting position during the diurnal...
[1]. Besides, CCT measurements play a crucial role in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma because the value of intraocular pressure should be adjusted in accordance with CCT [2]. CCT measurements also play an important role in the diagnosis of corneal diseases, such as Fuchs’ corneal ...
While elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor of glaucoma3, it is increasingly recognized that many patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) have IOP within the normal range4. Such phenomenon of normal tension glaucoma (NTG) constituting the majority of POAG cases...
