| Summary: |
Pascal Dynamic Contour
Tonometer (DCT) is a third-generation contact tonometer
for ophthalmologic applications. It measures pulsatile
IOP directly and continuously (dynamically). IOP
measurements with the DCT did not depend on corneal
thickness and the other proprieties of the cornea.
The aim of the study is to compare the value of
intraocular pressure measured with Pascal Dynamic
Contour Tonometer (DCT) and non contact tonometer among
healthy people and glaucoma patients depending on the
central corneal thickness (CCT). The study also presents
the results of the ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) analysis
among these patients that was based on the intraocular
pressure value. |
