| Popis: | Aims—To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in patients with band keratopathy or glued corneas obtained from aVected and non-aVected areas. Methods—15 patients with band keratopathy or glued corneas were prospectively recruited. When both eyes were aVected, only the right eye was analysed. Tono-Pen readings of IOP were obtained sequentially from the aVected and non-aVected corneal surface. Additionally, Goldmann applanation tonometry was attempted. Results—Determination of IOP with the Tono-Pen was possible in all cases, while Goldmann tonometry was not performed in three patients because of severe corneal irregularities. The average of the TonoPen readings obtained from the aVected cornea (34.8 (SD 14.0) mm Hg) was consistently and significantly higher (p |
