Comparison of the rebound tonometer (ICare^®) to the applanation tonometer (Tonopen XL^®) in normotensive dogs

Abstract

Intraocular pressures obtained with the ICare rebound tonometer were concordant with the IOP readings obtained by applanation Tonopen XL, but ICare values were significantly (P<0.0001) lower. Rebound tonometry could be an appropriate tonometry method for routine clinical use after its calibration for canine eyes.
