Objective: To assess whether Tono-Pen and pneumatonometer measurements obtained from the sclera correlate to intraocular pressure measurements obtained from the cornea.
Methods: This is a prospective, cross-sectional study, conducted at the New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai. Patients were randomized to have their left or right eye included in the study. Exclusion criteria included prior intraocular surgery (except uncomplicated cataract extraction), uveitis, corneal or scleral thinning, central corneal thickness <500 μm or >575 μm, and hyperopia greater than +2 diopters or myopia greater than -4 diopters. Goldmann applanation tonometry, Tono-Pen and pneumatonometer measurements were obtained from the cornea. Tono-Pen and pneumatonometer measurements were obtained from the sclera in the superonasal, superotemporal, infero.. View More»
