Change in Intraocular Pressure in Myopic Eyes Measured With Contact and Non-contact Tonometers After Laser in situ Keratomileusis

Abstract

Intraocular pressure decreased significantly after LASIK when measured with either Goldmann (mean 4.3 mmHg) or air puff (mean 6.1 mmHg) tonometers. This decrease may delay the diagnosis or affect the management of future glaucoma that may develop in a myopic eye that received LASIK.
