Clinical evaluation of two non-contact tonometers.
The precision and speed of two non-contact tonometers were examined and compared. The Goldmann applanation tonometer was used as the standard for precision. On the average the results obtained with the non-contact tonometers were not significantly different from those obtained with the Goldmann tonometer. The variation in the values obtained with the non-contact tonometers was greater. The speed of measurement differed between the two non-contact tonometers.
