Purpose: To compare the reliability and accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measured while wearing soft contact lenses (SCLs) using a non-contact tonometer (NCT), Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), iCare rebound tonometer (RBT) and the Tono-Pen XL.
Methods: Twenty-six healthy subjects were examined. The IOP was measured using NCT, GAT, RBT, and the Tono-Pen XL, while the subjects wore SCLs -5.
[A case of anterior segment dysgenesis showing change in anterior eye features].

Purpose: Using an ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) and an endoscope just after birth, We observed the morphological changes in the anterior segment in a case of anterior segment dysgenesis.
Case: The patient was a 9-day-old baby girl born with central opacity and high intraocular pressure. The central cornea was thin and the opacity was ring-shaped.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of positional deviations on rebound tonometer measurement of intraocular pressure in humans.
Materials And Methods: Intraocular pressure was measured using the Icare rebound tonometer on the right eyes of 53 subjects in various conditions as follows: first, at a distance of 4, 6, or 8 mm from the center of the cornea with the probe perpendicular to the corneal plane; then, at 2 mm from the limbus in the nasal and temporal regions with the probe perpendicular to the corneal plane or along the visual axis; and lastly, with the angled probe touching the central cornea at angles of 10° or 20°.
Results: Bland-Altman plots between the Goldmann applanation tonometer and rebound tonometer at various conditions revealed 95% limits of agreement ranging from ±4.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of positional deviations on the rebound tonometer measurement.
Materials And Methods: Ten white rabbits were used. A bottle of balanced salt solution was connected to the anterior chamber, and the IOP was altered by changing the height of the bottle.
