Ocular Response Analyzer versus Goldmann Applanation Tonometer for Measurement of Intra-Ocular Pressure
Rim Raafat Fayez;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) has been the gold
standard for intraocular pressure(IOP) measurement ,since its appearance in
clinical practice around 50 years ago.
In spite of being almost
unchallenged, the last few years have become a sustained search for a new
standard method for IOP measurement,. One such recently marketed
instrument is the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA), which able to detect the
corneal biomechanics.
Aim of the Work: is to compare the IOP measurement estimated by
Goldmann applanation tonometer to that of ORA and detect the effect of
state of refraction, corneal topography and central corneal thickness(CCT)
on these measurements.
