PURPOSE: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) readings of Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT), and to correlate central corneal thickness (CCT) with these readings. METHODS: This transversal study included patients in two groups: open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and normal eyes (NE). IOP measurements were obtained in all patients using GAT and DCT. The same examiner made all GAT measurements. Another examiner, who was masked to the GAT readings, made DCT measurements. CCT was determined by ultrasound pachimetry. RESULTS: […]
