Intraocular pressure behavior in the Goldmann and pneumatic tonometer during water drinking test
DOI: 10.5935/0034-7280.20180003
Objective: To evaluate the consonance betweenthe Goldman and pneumática planation to nometers under the effect of the water drink test. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study consisting of a sample of 102 eyes from a private hospital in Goiânia (GO) from 2013 to 2015,with na evaluation of different intraocular pressures (IOP) in the Goldman and pneumatic flattening to nometers when submitted to TSH. Results: The average age was 52.17 (± 15.21) years old, 60.8% of the patients were female and 39.2% were male.The mean corneal thickness was 531.9(± 72.75) By linear regression the variables age and corneal thickness did not occur statistical significance between the two devices analyzed. Conclusion: Good agreement was observed in the measurements between the applanation devices and the tire during the water drink test, but new studies with a greater epidemiological impact were required to confirm this assertion.
