Purpose. To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK), measured by Diaton, Perkins, and noncontact air pulse tonometers.Methods. Fifty-seven patients with a mean age of 34.88 were scheduled for myopia LASIK treatment. Spherical equivalent refraction (SER), corneal curvature (K), and central corneal thickness (CCT) and superior corneal thickness (SCT) were obtained before and after LASIK surgery. IOP values before and after surgery were measured using Diaton, Perkins, and noncontact air pulse tonometers.Results. The IOP values before and after LASIK surgery using Perkins tonometer and air tonometers were statistically significant (p<0.05). However, no significant differences were found (p>0.05) for IOP values measured with Diaton tonometer. CCT decreases significantly after surgery (p<0.05) but no statistical differences were found in SCT (p=0.08). Correlations between pre- and postsurgery were found for all tonometers used, withp=0.001andr=0.434for the air pulse tonometer,p=0.008andr=0.355for Perkins, andp<0.001andr=0.637for Diaton.Conclusion. Transpalpebral tonometry may be useful for measuring postsurgery IOP after myopic LASIK ablation because this technique is not influenced by the treatment.

Background/Aim. Measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) over therapeutic silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses by a non-contact method of tonometry could be applied in opthalmologic practice but the results obtained are still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of spherically designed silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses and their power on values of IOP measured by using a noncontact tonometry method. Methods. We measured IOP with and without spherical silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses on 143 eyes of 80 subjects who did not have any ocular or systemic diseases. Results. The Wilcoxon statistical analysis test for ranking average values of IOP measured on 143 eyes over a spherical silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses showed significantly higher values compared to those measured with no contact lenses (15.81 ? 3.46 mm Hg vs 14.54 ? 3.19 mm Hg; respectively; Z = -5.224, p = 0.001). Refractive power analysis of the contact lenses of -9.00D to +6.00 D showed a significant difference of IOP in the range from 0.00D to -6.00D. Conclusion. Non-contact tonometry is not an accurate method of IOP measuring over spherical silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses which belong to therapeutic contact lenses.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effect of topical prostaglandin analogues on agreement of IOP measurements obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), rebound tonometry (RBT), and noncontact tonometry (NCT) in eyes with primary open- angle glaucoma (POAG). Methods Intraocular pressure measurements were obtained using GAT, RBT, and NCT in patients with POAG with or without prostaglandin analogues. The agreement between each tonometry was analysed using Bland-Altman analyses in those with or without prostaglandin analogues. The effect of average IOP on IOP differences was also evaluated. Results Among a total of 86 subjects included in the study, 44 patients were using prostaglandin analogues. The difference in IOP measured by GAT and RBT was marginally greater in those with (GAT-RBT: − 0.94 ± 1.63 mmHg) prostaglandin analogues than in those without (− 0.33 ± 1.22 mmHg, P = 0.06). The difference in IOP measured by GAT and NCT was significantly greater in the prostaglandin group (GAT-NCT: 2.40 ± 2.89 mmHg) than in the group without prostaglandin analogues (0.41 ± 1.63 mmHg, P < 0.01). While there was no significant relationship between the average of all tonometries and the difference between tonometries in those without prostaglandin analogues, both RBT and NCT underestimated IOP relative to GAT at higher IOP in those using prostaglandin analogues. Conclusion Intraocular pressure measured by RBT and NCT was similar to that measured by GAT in those without prostaglandin analogues. RBT overestimated and NCT underestimated IOP compared to GAT in those using prostaglandin analogues.
