An accurate assessment of Intraocular pressure (IOP) is vital in establishing diagnosis of Glaucoma and decision making regarding various treatment modalities available. The purpose of this study is to compare Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) with Air puff tonometer.
Cross-sectional comparative study conducted. 73 eyes from 73 patients were included in this study and intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by GAT and PT100 at Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Hospital, Muzaffarabad, Benazir Shaheed Teaching Hospital, Abbottabad.
Mean age of the patients was 53.17 +/- 13.80 years. Mean IOP measurements showed significant differences in measurements performed by the two tonometers (p < 0.05). Correlation revealed significant relation between PT100 and GAT (Pearson's correlation 0.715, p < 0.01).
Compared to non-contact air-puff tonometer, the Goldmann applanation tonometer is a reliable and consistent technique for measurement of intraocular pressure.
准确评估眼压对于青光眼的诊断以及各种可用治疗方式的决策至关重要。本研究的目的是比较Goldmann压平眼压计(GAT)和气流眼压计。
进行横断面比较研究。本研究纳入了73例患者的73只眼,在穆扎法拉巴德的谢赫·哈利法·本·扎耶德医院、阿伯塔巴德的贝娜齐尔·布托教学医院,通过GAT和PT100测量眼压。
患者的平均年龄为53.17±13.80岁。平均眼压测量结果显示,两种眼压计的测量存在显著差异(p<0.05)。相关性分析显示PT100与GAT之间存在显著关系(Pearson相关性为0.715,p<0.01)。
与非接触式气流眼压计相比,Goldmann压平眼压计是一种可靠且一致的眼压测量技术。
