  • Title: Intraocular pressure measurement in children using the Keeler Pulsair tonometer.
    Author: Evans K, Wishart PK.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Physiol Opt; 1992 Jul; 12(3):287-90. PubMed ID: 1454364.
    Abstract:
    A study to determine whether Keeler Pulsair tonometry is a feasible alternative to tonometry under general anaesthesia in children was undertaken. We recruited 53 children aged from 6 months to 9 years old. Readings were obtainable from 78% and a complete set of four readings from each eye was obtained from 45% of the group in an out-patient setting. Averaged Pulsair measurements agreed well with Perkins applanation tonometry values under general anaesthesia. Techniques to improve compliance are discussed. In conclusion, the Pulsair tonometer is a viable method for obtaining estimates of intraocular pressure in children in this age-group.
