Comparison between Pascal dynamic contour tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometer after different types of refractive surgery

Background To evaluate and compare the recorded IOP values of the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods Three groups of 84, 182 and 43 patients each were treated b...

Zusammenfassung:Background To evaluate and compare the recorded IOP values of the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods Three groups of 84, 182 and 43 patients each were treated by PRK for myopia, LASIK for myopia and LASIK for hyperopia respectively. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements were performed in all eyes 1 day before and 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment with PDCT and GAT. Ultrasound pachymetry was performed in all eyes preoperatively and at 1st month postoperatively. Results Preoperatively and postoperatively, GAT readings were lower than PDCT in all groups (all p
