The study was conducted to evaluate the intra-session repeatability of Tonopen AVIA (TPA). 180 eyes of 180 patients (50 eyes with glaucoma, 130 eyes of controls) were recruited for this observational study. The mean age of patients enrolled in the study was 43.9 ± 16.7 yrs (84 males, 96 females). Mean IOP recorded with Tonopen AVIA was 19.5 ± 9.5 mmHg, 19.4 ± 9.6 mmHg and 19.3 ± 9.2 mmHg, respectively in the first, second and third instances (P = 0.656). The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) ranged from 0.996 (95% CI: 0.956 - 0.998) for glaucoma subjects to 0.958 (95% CI: 0.934 - 0.975) for controls. The coefficient of variation in the study population ranged from 3.47% (glaucoma patients) to 8.10% (healthy controls), being 6.07% overall. The coefficient of repeatability varied between 2.96 (glaucoma patients), 3.35 (healthy controls) to 3.24 (overall). Thus, the Tonopen Avia shows good intrasessional repeatability of IOP in both glaucomatous patients and healthy subjects.

Background And Aim: Measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) is crucial for identifying potentially damaging changes in the eyes, including diseases as glaucoma and uveitis. This study compared intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in cats using the Tonovet and Tonovet Plus (rebound), Tono-Pen Avia Vet (applanation), and Kowa HA-2 (Goldman's methodology applanation) tonometers.
Materials And Methods: 55 healthy cats (108 eyes) were assessed through three distinct studies: An experiment (10 eyes of five cats) to correlate IOP manometry and tonometry values and ascertain the correlation coefficient (r2); an study (10 eyes of five sedated cats) to contrast manometer and tonometer readings; and an outpatient clinical trial (80 eyes of 45 cats) to analyze only tonometer measurements.
Intraocular Pressure Measurements in Standing, Sitting, Prone, and Supine Positions.

In this study, intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured in sitting, supine, prone, and standing (ST) positions and again five minutes after standing (ST-5) utilizing a Tono-Pen AVIA in 124 eyes of 62 healthy subjects with ages ranging from 21 to 59 years (mean 30 ± 10 years). In each subject, the average IOP of both eyes was used for the statistical evaluation. The mean IOP difference between the ST and sitting positions was -0.

This study investigated intraocular pressure (IOP) in Dutch belted rabbits using two different tonometers, rebound tonometry (TonoVet Plus; TVP) and a Tonopen (Tono-Pen AVIA Vet; TPA). Post-pubescent male Dutch belted rabbits aged 36 weeks (n = 10 animals) were used in the study. IOP measurements were conducted every 2 weeks for 22 weeks using TVP and TPA on both eyes of each rabbit.

Aims/objectives: Tonometry is a fundamental procedure in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma. Different tonometers have been proposed but none are as accurate as the Goldman applanation tonometry (GAT). Nonetheless, due to the limitations of GAT, mobile tonometry methods became prevalent.

Background: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is an endoscopic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract that requires insufflation with gas, leading to intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). There is evidence suggesting that IAH positively correlates with intracranial pressure (ICP) and possibly with intraocular pressure (IOP). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a routine screening EGD on the IOP.
