title: Comparison of the Icare rebound tonometry with the Goldmann applanation tonometry in a pediatric population.
abstract: We report the results of a comparative study at a single center on 214 eyes of 109 pediatric patients in whom IOP was measured using the Icare rebound tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometry. Measurements from the two modalities demonstrated a correlation coefficient of 0.83 (P < 0.001), with Icare measuring on average 1.38 mm Hg higher. Compared to Goldmann, the Icare was more easily tolerated in the children studied. In 37 eyes that tolerated pachymetry, central corneal thickness was positively correlated with Icare measurements.
