Effect of central corneal thickness on intraocular pressure and comparison of Topcon CT ‐80 non‐contact tonometry with Goldmann applanation tonometry

ConclusionIn this study of normotensive and POAG subjects, the Topcon CT‐80 NCT showed an overestimation of IOP at the lower range and underestimation of IOP in normal and higher ranges of IOP. Clinicians should keep in mind that CCT influences IOP measurement with both types of tonometer and that the IOP readings obtained with these tonometers are not interchangeable.
