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 single-blind crossover trial. IOPs were measured in both eyes of subjects with both applanators. Type of applanator was alternated to eliminate systematic bias. Multiple observers were used.

To compare the measurements of intraocular pressure (IOP) with dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in healthy and glaucomatous eyes and to evaluate the influence ...

Ocular pulse amplitude may diminish the accuracy and reliability of Goldmann applanation tonometry, a study found. The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA, Reichert) was used to measure Goldmann-correlated ...
