Comparison of dynamic contour tonometry and Goldmann applanation tonometry and their relationship to corneal properties, refractive error, and ocular pulse amplitude

Abstract

Accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is essential in diagnosing and managing glaucoma. Dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) is less dependent on corneal properties, such as thickness, elasticity, and rigidity, than Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT). This study examined the relationship between GAT and DCT as well as their relationship with corneal properties and ocular pulse amplitude (OPA).GAT, DCT, OPA, pachymetry, refractive error, and corneal curvature measurements were obtained on 115 healthy volunteers.Participants with thicker corneas (>or=580 microm) had higher IOP measurements with GAT than DCT (P = 0.005). Those with thinner corneas (
