Abstract
ABSTRACT:Objective:To evaluate the role of non-contact Pneumo-tonometry (PT) by comparing intraocular pressure (IOP) measurementswith Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) and PT in healthy subjects, and patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma(POAG).Materials and Methods: This prospective comparative study was conducted at PNS Shifa Naval Hospital, Karachi from January2016 to June 2016. A total of 360 eyes of 180 patients were included, and IOP measurement was done using GAT and PTmethods. The difference in readings between the two methods was calculated and analysed using SPSS version 17.Results: A total of 360 eyes were analysed. 90 healthy subjects (180 eyes) and 90 patients with diagnosed POAG (180 eyes)were included. Mean IOP measured in all eyes using GAT and PT was 16.32±5.31 mm of Hg and 18.16±6.76 mm of Hgrespectively. Mean difference in IOP was 2.31±1.89 mmHg between two methods, with 278(77.22%) eyes showing higher IOPread...
