  1. Comparison between Dynamic contour tonometry, Goldmannapplanationtonometry and Ehlers-corrected Goldmannapplanationtonometry in eyes after Laser In Situ Keratomileusis Noppamas Wongpitoonpiya,MD BMA General Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand The author has no financial interest in the subject matter of this poster

  2. Purpose • To compare intraocular pressure measurement using GoldmannApplanationTonometry (GAT) , Dynamic Contour Tonometry (DCT) and Ehlers-corrected GAT in eyes undergoing first time Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) for correction of myopia

  3. Methods • Central Corneal Thickness (CCT) and IOP were measured in 88 eyes of 44 patients before and 4 week after LASIK. IOP measurement was performed by GAT and DCT sequentially 3 minutes apart. • The Ehlers correction factor was applied on the GAT IOP measurement to calculate Ehlers-corrected GAT IOP.

  4. Methods • Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the association between CCT and IOP measured by GAT and DCT.

  5. Results • Mean preoperative IOP measured by GAT was 14.05 mmHg slightly lower compare with DCT IOP (16.27 mmHg) and Ehlers-corrected GAT (15.23 mmHg)

  6. Results • Mean corneal ablation was 81.3 ± 23.3 micron. • After LASIK, the mean GAT measurement dropped by –4.33 mmHg ± 2.7 (SD) and the mean IOP obtained by DCT dropped by -1.17 mmHg ± 1.80 (SD). • Both GAT and DCT IOP decreased significantly after LASIK (P<0.001) but the correlation between IOP changes and CCT reduction were stronger in IOP by GAT.

  7. Results • In contrast to IOP measured by GAT and DCT, mean Ehlers-corrected GAT was slightly higher after LASIK. • No significant correlation of CCT changes and Ehlers-corrected GAT was found in this study (P=0.90).

  8. Comparison of IOP measured by GAT pre & post op

  9. Comparison of IOP measured by DCT pre & post op

  10. Comparison of Ehlers-corrected GAT IOP pre & post op

  11. Conclusion • Corneal thickness alteration after LASIK affected IOP measurement by both GAT and DCT. • Ehlers-corrected GAT changes were not correlated with CCT reduction after LASIK.
