Sažetak
Aim: The objectives of the study were to determine whether there is any difference in the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and air-puff tonometry (APT) and to compare the feeling of comfort when measuring the IOP by both methods. Participants and methods: This cross-sectional study included 133 participants, who underwent standard ophthalmic examination. Participants were examined for correction of refractive error from October 2017 to April 2018 at the Ophthalmology polyclinic “Oculus”, Osijek. Exclusion criteria were age under 18 years, glaucoma treatment, operative surgery at the anterior or posterior eye segment, degenerative changes in the anterior eye segment, or tear film disorder. IOP was measured in all participants by both methods, after which participants voluntarily completed a questionnaire in which the following data were collected: age, gender, data on wearing lenses, number of IOP measures, and evaluation of the comfort level of GAT and APT. Results: This cross-sectional study included 133 patients (83 women, 50 men). The median of the participants’ age was 51. There was a statistically significant difference between the measured IOP of the right and left eye with the GAT and APT (t-test, P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the comfort level of IOP measured with GAT and APT (Fisher’s exact test, P = 0.180). Conclusions: Although APT has some advantages over GAT, GAT provides more accurate results for IOP measurement and is therefore considered a gold standard for IOT measurement today.
