  • Title: Goldmann applanation versus hand-applanation and .schiötz indentation tonometry.
    Author: Krieglstein GK, Waller WK.
    Journal: Albrecht Von Graefes Arch Klin Exp Ophthalmol; 1975; 194(1):11-6. PubMed ID: 1079117.
    Abstract:
    For evaluation of hand-applanation tonometry comparative measurements of intraocular pressure have been carried out using the Goldmann applanation tonometer, the Draeger and Perkins hand-applanation tonometers and the Schiötz indentation tonometer. A series of 52 eyes has been tested. The statistical analysis was based on the Goldmann tonometry as a reference system. The hand-applanation tonometers were found to be in satisfactory agreement with the Goldmann tonometer, whereas the Schiötz tonometer gave significantly low values in the pressure range considered.
