[Effectivity of different methods for disinfection of applanation tonometer prisms (author's transl)].
In 13,440 bacteriological investigations the effectivity of different methods for desinfection of Goldmann tonometer prisms (merfen, pantasept, sekusept steril, UV sterilizer Sklar) is tested. Sekusept steril and UV sterilizer show the quickest and most sufficient results. They cause no damage to corneal epithelium or to plastic objects. We can recommend them for desinfection of applanation tonometer prims, Goldmann's gonioscopy and fundus contact lenses as routine methods.
