Introduction: Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is vital to select and monitor a patient undergoing ocular surgery. The validity of tonometry by independent researchers is useful. In this paper, we compare intraocular pressure (IOP) by rebound tonometry using iCare (Tiolat Oy, Helsinki, Finland) with transpalpebral IOP (tpIOP) method by using Diaton (Bicom Inc., NY, USA) before and after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TPRK) in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This cross-sectional validity study was held at a private ophthalmology hospital in central Saudi Arabia from January 2021 to February 2022. The tonometry was performed before, at week 1 (W1), and month 1 (M1) after TPRK. The tpIOP and IOP by iCare were compared using matched-pair analysis. The agreement in IOP by two methods was reviewed using the Bland-Altman plot. Central corneal thickness (CCT), spherical equivalent (SE) before surgery, and gender were correlated to the difference in IOP by two tonometers. The main outcome was the difference in IOP measured by Diaton and iCare.
Results: We studied 202 eyes of 101 patients. The median difference in IOP by Diaton and iCare was -1.0 mmHg before, at W1, and M1 follow-ups. Before surgery, tpIOP by Diaton was 15.0±2.8 mmHg and by iCare was 16.0±3.7 mmHg (P<0.001). At W1, tpIOP was 15.9±2.5 mmHg and 16.9±3.4 mmHg by iCare (P<0.001). At M1, tpIOP was 15.7±4.1 mmHg and 16.5±5.4 mmHg by iCare (P<0.001). IOP by two methods was within ±2 mmHg in 73.3%, 69.8%, and 75.2% of the eyes before, at W1, and M1 of TPRK. Pre-CCT (P<0.001) was the significant predictor of the difference in IOP by two methods at W1 and M1 (P=0.001). iCare gave the overestimation of IOP compared to Diaton in 18.3%, 22.8%, and 17.8% of the eyes before, W1, and M1 follow-ups.
Conclusions: IOP by iCare and Diaton was similar. Central corneal thickness was the predictor of IOP differences by tonometers.

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and axonal degeneration, resulting in irreversible vision impairment. While intraocular pressure (IOP) is presently acknowledged as the sole modifiable risk factor, the sensitivity of RGCs to IOP varies among individuals. Consequently, progressive vision loss may ensue even when IOP is effectively managed.

Cataract surgery is the most frequently performed surgery worldwide. Although it is an effective surgical treatment option for improving patients' visual acuity, various complications can occur postoperatively. One such complication is the presence of retained lens material in the anterior chamber, which can lead to intraocular inflammation, increased intraocular pressure, corneal edema, and endothelial cell loss.
