Abstract

Purpose: To search the effects of corneal, refractive and biometric parameters on intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements performed with Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), noncontact tonometer (NCT) and Tonopen. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 ocular hypertensive (OHT) patients and 120 healthy control individuals with normal IOP values were included in the study. After all patients underwent refraction examination, keratometric measurement, axial length measurement and central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements IOP was measured with 4 different tonometers in random order. Whether if any correlations existed between IOP measurements of 4 different tonometers with corneal (CCT, keratometry), refractive (spherical equivalent) and biometric parameters (axial lenghth) were evaluated with Pearson correlation analysis. Findings: IOP measurements with DCT were higher than those of other tonometers’ in both OHT and control individuals. There was no correlation between IOP measurements and keratometry, spherical equivalent refraction, axial lenghth in both groups. In the control group, while CCT showed mild correlations with GAT, NCT and Tonopen, there was no correlation with DCT. In the OHT group with predominantly thick corneas there was no correlation between Tonopen and CCT only, while all other tonometers showed mild correlations with CCT. Conclusions: CCT values above or below normal values can lead to faulty tonometric mesaurements. Among the tonometers used in this study, DCT and Tonopen attract attention as tonometers effected the least from CCT in heathy individuals with normal IOP and in OHT patients, respectively.

Özet

Amaç: Pascal dinamik kontur tonometre (DKT), Goldmann aplanasyon tonometresi (GAT), nonkontakt tonometre (NKT) ve Tonopen ile yapılan göz içi basıncı (GİB) ölçümlerine korneal, refraktif ve biyometrik parametrelerin etkisini araştırmak. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma kapsamına toplam 120 oküler hipertansif (OHT) olgu ile GİB’ı normal olan 120 sağlıklı kontrol olgu alındı. Tüm olgulara refraksion muayenesi, keratometrik ölçüm, aksiyel uzunluk ölçümü ve santral kornea kalınlığı (SKK) ölçümleri yapıldıktan sonra dört farklı tonometrenin tümüyle randomize sıralamayla GİB ölçümleri yapıldı. Korneal (SKK, keratometri), refraktif (sferik ekivalan) ve biyometrik parametrelerle (aksiyel uzunluk) 4 farklı tonometrenin GİB ölçümleri arasında korelasyon olup olmadığı Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Hem OHT hem kontrol grubunda DKT ile yapılan ölçümler diğer tonometrelerin ölçümlerinden daha yüksek bulundu. Yine her iki grupta tüm tonometrelerde keratometri, sferik ekivalan, aksiyel uzunluk ile GİB ölçümleri arasında korelasyon olmadığı belirlendi. Korneal parametrelerden SKK kontrol grubu olgularda GAT, NKT ve Tonopen ile ılımlı düzeyde korelasyon gösterirken, DKT ile korelasyon göstermiyordu. Ağırlıklı olarak kalın kornealardan oluşan OHT grubunda ise yalnızca SSK ile Tonopen arasında korelasyon olmadığı, diğer tüm tonometre ölçümlerinin SKK ile ılımlı düzeyde korelasyon gösterdiği görüldü. Sonuçlar: Normalden ince veya kalın SKK değerleri tonometrik ölçümlerde hatalara yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada kullanılan tonometreler içinde DKT ve Tonopen sırasıyla GİB sağlıklı bireylerde ve OHT olgularında SKK’dan en az etkilenen tonometreler olarak dikkat çekmektedir.
