The air pulsed automatic tonometer X-PERT NCT has been tested in hospitals on glaucomatous patients. This new technique avoids direct contact with the patient's eyes and therefore avoids any risk of contamination. The population studied consisted of 118 eyes of 60 patients whose intraocular pressure (I.O.P.) is measured by applanation with the Goldmann tonometer and then by the air pulsed tonometer. The average I.O.P. obtained by Goldmann tonometer is 17.5 +/- 5 mmHg while by X-PERT tonometer, the average I.O.P. is 17.4 +/- 1.5 mmHg. Statistical analysis of these data showed a very good correlation (r = 0.969) in the two methods of measurement.
空气脉冲自动眼压计X-PERT NCT已在医院对青光眼患者进行了测试。这项新技术避免了与患者眼睛的直接接触，因此避免了任何污染风险。所研究的人群包括60名患者的118只眼睛，其眼压（I.O.P.）先用Goldmann眼压计通过压平测量，然后用空气脉冲眼压计测量。Goldmann眼压计测得的平均眼压为17.5 +/- 5 mmHg，而X-PERT眼压计测得的平均眼压为17.4 +/- 1.5 mmHg。对这些数据的统计分析表明，两种测量方法具有非常好的相关性（r = 0.969）。
