Recent studies suggest that Goldmann tonometers can rapidly develop calibration errors (CEs) in clinical use and routine checks are necessary to ensure accuracy. Every ophthalmology unit with training ...

Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) increases the risk of glaucoma. Eye-care professionals measure IOP to screen for ocular hypertension (OHT) (IOP>21 mm Hg) and to monitor glaucoma treatment.

Calibration errors on a Goldmann applanation tonometer may lead to inaccurate assessment of a patient’s IOP. Researchers examining 125 eyes of 125 patients measured ...

A number of studies indicate that central corneal thickness is an important predictor of increased risk for developing glaucoma. 1-4 In the 1970s, Ehlers and colleagues reported a relationship between ...
