AIM AND OBJECTIVE TO COMPARE GOLDMANN APPLANATION TONOMETER (GAT) AND NON CONTACT TONOMETER ( NCT) AVAILABLE FOR ESTIMATION OF INTRA OCULAR PRESSURE.
METHODS AFTER ETHICAL COMMITTEE APPROVAL, CLINICAL DATA OF 1217 PATIENTS DURING THE PERIOD JANUARY 2016 TO JUNE 2017, WHO WERE RANDOMLY SCREENED WITHOUT ANY OCULAR DISEASE OR PREVIOUS OCULAR SURGERY WERE NOTED.
RESULTS PATIENTS WERE WITHIN AGE GROUP 15 TO 55 YEARS. MEAN AGE WAS 37.13±8.858 YEARS. WITH 627 MALE AND 590 FEMALE PATIENTS. THE MEAN VALUE OF RIGHT EYE FOR NCT AND GAT WAS FOUND STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT (F =102.685 , P,< 0.001 ). THE MEAN VALUE OF LEFT EYE FOR NCT AND GAT WAS FOUND STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT (F =99.181 , P,< 0.001 ). MEAN VALUE OF CCT FOR RE = 538.92±12.709 AND FOR LE = 539.34±12.660. BOTH WERE STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT CORRELATED WITH TONOMETERS . CONCLUSION IN THIS STUDY GOLDMANN APPLANATION TONOMETER WAS FOUND TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY SUPERIOR THAN NON CONTACT TONOMETER.
