Brief Summary in Lay Language
Rebound tonometry is used in our clinic since 2008 for measurement of intraocular pressure.
This method is very useful for measurement of intraocular pressure in children, in difficult
situations and for self-tonometry. No application of eyedrops is needed for this method. At this
moment, the first tonometer using rebound tonometry is available at the market for measurement of intraocular pressure in supine position. The intraocular pressure of 100 glaucoma patients will be measured using the iCare PRO tonometer. To test agreement of the new device with standard methods,
intraocular pressure is also measured with the Goldmann applanation, Perkins applanation and the Pascal contour
tonometer. To detect probable confouner test for visual acuity, visual field, corneal pachymetry
are applied.
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
Since 2008 we use a new device for intraocular pressure measurement called rebound tonometer
(RBT, iCare, Tiolat Oy, Helsinki, Finnland). The method was first described by Kontiola [1].
For the RBT as a new device in many reports a good correlation of measured pressure values
between the RBT and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (gold standard) was shown. Studies
were done for healthy [2], as well as for glaucoma patients [3,4]. moreover, measurement with the
RBT is a safe method, which is also appliable for children. Another study showed a high degree of
intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility [5]. In comparison to the gold standard method
(Goldmann applanations tonometry), the measurement with the RBT shows slightly higher values
[6-8].
Newly, a rebound tonometer is available for measurement of intraocular pressure in supine position. Aim of this
study is to measure intraocular pressure in 100 glaucoma patients using the
new device. The measurement is performed by the doctor.
Additionally, we measure the intraocular pressure using the Goldmann applanation, the Perkins applanation and the Pascal contour tonometer.

Primary Outcome
EP:
Measurement of intraocular pressure (mmHg) at a particular time using the rebound tonometer
(iCare PRO). Moreover, measurement of intraocular pressure is performed using the Goldmann
applanation tonometer and the Pascal contour tonometer in seating position and additionally the Perkins applanation tonometer in supine position.
Agreement of the methods is tested by using correlation and Bland-Altman plots.
