Popis: Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with Pulsair EasyEye (PEE) and Ocular Response Analyser (ORA) in healthy patients. Methods: Sixty-five eyes from 65 patients underwent a full optometric examination, including central corneal thickness (CCT), and IOP measured with PEE and ORA. Differences between IOP measurements between both tonometers were analyzed. Pearson correlation coefficients between IOP values and ORA corneal biomechanics parameters were also obtained. Results: Statistically significant differences were found between IOP of PEE (IOPk) and Goldmann-corrected IOP of ORA (IOPg; p = 0.001). IOPk and corneal resistance-corrected IOP of ORA (IOPcc) were also found to differ significantly (p = 0.025). Mean differences between IOPg-IOPk, IOPcc-IOPk and IOPg-IOPcc were 0.71 ± 1.66, 0.70 ± 2.46 and 0.01 ± 1.54 mmHg (mean ± standard deviation), respectively. Pearson correlation coefficients indicated that IOPk, IOPg, and IOPcc were significantly correlated among them (p
