Description |
In a prospective study, intra-ocular pressure (IOP) was measured in 13 glaucomatous eyes of dogs with an applanation tonometer, and the Schiotz indentation tonometer. The readings obtained with the Schiotz tonometer using 5.5 g and 7.5 g weights were converted to IOP estimates using the human and canine calibration tables, and compared with each other and to those obtained with the applanation tonometer. IOP estimates using 7.5 g weight and converted with canine and human calibration tables, and 5.5 g weight and converted with canine calibration table were significantly higher than those obtained with applanation tonometer. IOP estimates using Schiotz 5.5 g weight and converted using human calibration table did not vary significantly than those obtained with the applanation tonometer. Measurements obtained with the Schiotz tonometer, using either weight, and converted using the human calibration table were significantly lower than those obtained with either weight and the canine calibration table. |
