Abstract

For evaluation of hand-applanation tonometry comparative measurements of intraocular pressure have been carried out using the Goldmann applanation tonometer, the Draeger and Perkins hand-applanation tonometers and the Schiötz indentation tonometer. A series of 52 eyes has been tested. The statistical analysis was based on the Goldmann tonometry as a reference system. The hand-applanation tonometers were found to be in satisfactory agreement with the Goldmann tonometer, whereas the Schiötz tonometer gave significantly low values in the pressure range considered.
