Purpose: The PASCAL dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) adapted to the corneal geometry is a new approach for digital measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the DCT vs Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in penetrating keratoplasties.
Method: We included 92 consecutive eyes after penetrating keratoplasty (57 without sutures, 32 with 2 running sutures, 3 with 1 running suture) in this prospective cross-sectional study.
