Abstract:
Noncontact tonometer is a convenient instrument for checking of intraocular pressure without corneal touch. We compared the IOP of 45 eyes in 24 patients with and without soft contact lenses. Two measurements were taken on each eye while the patients were wearing soft conbtact lenses by noncontact tonometry, and rechecked immediatly after the lenses were removed. There was no significant differance between two measurements(t-test, P>0.05).
