Comparison of different devices to measure the intraocular pressure in thyroid-associated orbitopathy
Graefe's Archive for Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology Aug 25, 2019
Kuebler AG, Wiecha C, Reznicek L, et al. - Researchers examined how intraocular pressure measurements (IOP) are correlated with non-contact tonometer Corvis Scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST), Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), ocular response analyzer (ORA), and iCARE rebound tonometer in patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO) and eye-healthy individuals (control group). In this prospective, age- and sex-matched study, they included 29 consecutive patients with TAO (79% female; mean age: 51 ± 10 years) and 30 eye-healthy individuals (60% female; mean age: 56 ± 13 years). In TAO patients and in eye-healthy patients, the collected data shows an agreement between the iCARE and GAT IOP measurements. However, patients with TAO vs the control group had a significantly higher mean value of IOP measurements with Corvis and ORA.
