This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate if the Tono-Pen, Schiøtz and Perkins tonometers could be used interchangeably in general practice for measuring elevated intraocular pressure. A total of 74 eyes of 37 paediatric patients under general anaesthesia were checked with all 3 tonometers. All of the tonometers gave significantly different measurements from each other. However, with a mean difference of 1.4 mmHg and 95% limits of agreement of -5.7 to +8.6, the greatest agreement was between the Perkins and Tono-Pen tonometers. The Perkins tonometer is a hand-held variant of the Goldmann tonometer (the gold standard for intraocular pressure measures). Therefore the Tono-Pen with its ease of use and safety could be a reliable device for use in general practice.
这项横断面研究旨在调查在一般医疗实践中,Tono-Pen眼压计、Schiøtz眼压计和Perkins眼压计是否可互换使用以测量眼压升高情况。对37例接受全身麻醉的儿科患者的74只眼睛使用所有这三种眼压计进行了检查。所有眼压计的测量结果彼此之间均存在显著差异。然而,平均差值为1.4 mmHg,一致性界限为-5.7至+8.6,Perkins眼压计和Tono-Pen眼压计之间的一致性最高。Perkins眼压计是戈德曼眼压计(眼压测量的金标准)的手持变体。因此,Tono-Pen眼压计因其易用性和安全性,可能是一般医疗实践中可靠的设备。
