Three portable tonometers, the TGDc-01, the ICARE and the Tonopen XL, were compared with each other and to Goldmann applanation tonometry in a large group of healthy subjects and patients with ocular hypertension or glaucoma (n = 103). Measurements performed with the ICARE and the Tonopen XL were in good agreement with that of the Goldmann tonometer. Intraocular pressure (IOP) values measured with the TGDc-01 were significantly lower and showed more variability. The 95% limits of agreement (portable tonometer - Goldmann) were -17 to +10 mmHg for the TGDc-01, -6 to +7 mmHg for the ICARE and -6 to +8 mmHg for the Tonopen. Corneal thickness could not explain the differences between an IOP measured with the portable tonometers and an IOP measured with the Goldmann tonometer. Patient comfort was slightly higher for ICARE when compared with the Tonopen.

Introduction: To determine the agreement between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements using conventional Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and SUOER SW-500 Rebound Tonometer.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study where 205 eyes of 106 glaucoma patients had their IOPs measured by 2 fellowship trained ophthalmologists. Data were analyzed using the Bland-Altman method of differences.

High intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the high-risk pathogenic factors of glaucoma. Existing methods of IOP measurement are based on the direct interaction with the cornea. Commercial ophthalmic tonometers based on snapshot measurements are expensive, bulky, and their operation requires trained personnel.

Article Synopsis
- This review discusses various tonometers used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in children with glaucoma, focusing on their accuracy, tolerability, and ease of use.
- Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) is considered the gold standard, while Tono-Pen and rebound tonometer (RBT) are also effective but can overestimate IOP, particularly in cases of high pressure or corneal issues.
- RBT is recommended for pediatric use due to its ease of use and lower traumatic impact, but it's advised to confirm high IOP readings with a second tonometer.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the most crucial aspects for diagnosis and treatment plan among patients with glaucoma. Although the gold standard for IOP measurement is Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT)[1], it must be mounted to a slit lamp biomicroscope. However, rebound tonometer has become popular due to its ease of operation and portable design, does not require topical anesthesia, and results do not differ significantly from those of GAT[2].
