Icare rebound tonometry in children with known and suspected glaucoma

摘要: Background Accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, important in managing pediatric glaucoma, often presents challenges. The Icare rebound tonometer shows promise for screening healthy children and has been reported comparable with Goldmann applanation adults glaucoma. purpose of this study was to evaluate the against clinic IOP measurement Methods This a prospective comparing versus tonometry Children known or suspected glaucoma were recruited from scheduled visits. measured by clinician subsequently (GAT) different single masked clinician. Results A total 71 eyes included. GAT ranged 9 36 mm Hg. readings 11 44 Mean difference between 2.3 ± SD 3.7 Hg, p Conclusions within 3 Hg 63% greater than 75%. device may be reasonable estimate selected whose cannot otherwise obtained clinic; however, correlation IOPs clinical findings must continue considered each case.
