To evaluate the extent to which rebound tonometry affects corneal surface properties and preoperative corneal measurements.
Four cornea specialty private practices.
Prospective case series.
Visual acuity testing, corneal topography, keratometry, and grading of corneal staining were performed on both eyes of 60 randomly selected, previously scheduled patients. Technicians then performed rebound tonometry on one randomly selected eye only. Immediately following, intraocular pressure measurement, corneal topography, keratometry, and corneal staining were repeated on both eyes.
None of the 60 study eyes developed increased staining scores following intraocular pressure testing with the Icare ic100. For corneal staining, mean keratometry, and total corneal cylinder, no statistically significant difference was found from the first measurement to the second measurement between the study eyes and control eyes.
Rebound tonometry with the Icare ic100 may be used on any patient at any time during the exam without affecting the results of other tests, allowing clinicians to test intraocular pressure prior to preoperative cataract or refractive surgery measurements on the same day. This may allow for significant improvement in patient flow in the office and save patients from the cost and time of extra visits.
评估回弹式眼压测量法对角膜表面特性和术前角膜测量的影响程度。
四家角膜专科私人诊所。
前瞻性病例系列。
对60名随机选取的、预先安排好的患者的双眼进行视力测试、角膜地形图检查、角膜曲率测量和角膜染色分级。然后技术人员仅对一只随机选取的眼睛进行回弹式眼压测量。紧接着，对双眼再次进行眼压测量、角膜地形图检查、角膜曲率测量和角膜染色检查。
使用Icare ic100进行眼压测试后，60只研究眼的染色评分均未增加。对于角膜染色、平均角膜曲率和角膜总散光，研究眼和对照眼从第一次测量到第二次测量均未发现统计学上的显著差异。
在检查过程中的任何时间，Icare ic100回弹式眼压测量法可用于任何患者，而不影响其他检查结果，使临床医生能够在同一天进行术前白内障或屈光手术测量之前测试眼压。这可能会显著改善诊所的患者流程，并为患者节省额外就诊的费用和时间。
