Assess current practice and views regarding checking Goldmann applanation tonometers for calibration errors in the United Kingdom. A total of 100 ophthalmology residents from England, Wales, and ...

Recent studies suggest that Goldmann tonometers can rapidly develop calibration errors (CEs) in clinical use and routine checks are necessary to ensure accuracy. Every ophthalmology unit with training ...

Calibration errors on a Goldmann applanation tonometer may lead to inaccurate assessment of a patient’s IOP. Researchers examining 125 eyes of 125 patients measured ...

A number of studies indicate that central corneal thickness is an important predictor of increased risk for developing glaucoma. 1-4 In the 1970s, Ehlers and colleagues reported a relationship between ...

The stiffness of the arterial wall can be determined through the pulse wave velocity, which can be measured by use of an applanation tonometer. Scientists discovered that this stiffness has predictive ...

Intraocular pressure (IOP) reflects a balance between aqueous humor production and outflow and is often an essential ophthalmic diagnostic procedure in animals. The objective of this study was to ...
