Agreement and Reliability of Transpalpebral Tonometers with Goldmann Applanation Tonometer - A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Topic: The systematic review and meta-analysis consolidates the extant body of evidence comparing reliability and agreement between Transpalpebral Tonometers (TT) and Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT).

Clinical Relevance: With a global prevalence of 3.54 percent, glaucoma stands as the second leading cause of preventable blindness.

Methods for a population-based Comprehensive Eye care Workload Assessment (CEWA) study in Southern India.

Eye care programs, in developing countries, are often planned using the prevalence of blindness and visual impairment, often estimated from Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) surveys. A limitation of this planning approach is that it ignores the annual overall eye care requirements for a given population. Moreover, targets set are arbitrary, often influenced by capacity rather than need.
