Lack of effects of anesthetic on measurement of intraocular pressure by Goldmann tonometry.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured in humans by Goldmann tonometry. Pressures were compared with either benoxinate or proparacaine as the anesthetic. It was found that the values obtained did not differ depending upon the choice of anesthetic.
