| Abstract |
The aim of the study was to investigate the agreement of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement using dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) in eyes after vitrectomy with intraocular gas endotamponade, in eyes after vitrectomy with no tamponade, and in controls. In this prospective comparative study IOP was measured with GAT and DCT in 41 eyes with gas endotamponade (sulfur hexafluoride 20%) 1 to 3 days after vitrectomy, in 32 postvitrectomy eyes with intraocular water, and in 46 control eyes with no history of glaucoma or intraocular surgery. Corneal pachymetry and axial length measurements were additionally performed. The mean difference between GAT and DCT (GAT-DCT) in gas-filled eyes was 3.1 mm Hg [SD=6.2 mm Hg], that in eyes after vitrectomy with no tamponade was 0.4 mm Hg (SD=4.8 mm Hg), and in control eyes was 0.4 mm Hg (SD=3.8 mm Hg). No significant correlation was found between the differences of GAT and DCT (GAT-DCT) and the mean IOP of GAT and DCT in water-filled eyes (r=-0.25, P=0.18) and control eyes (r=0.23, P=0.13), but a significant correlation was found in the gas-filled eyes (r=0.71, P<0.0001). A significant correlation between central corneal thickness and the mean difference of both methods was seen only in the control group (r=0.36, P=0.03). IOP as determined by DCT underestimates IOP in gas-filled eyes compared with GAT, as GAT values were on average 3.1 mm Hg higher compared with those of DCT. The extent of IOP underestimation using DCT increases with higher IOP values. In the group of eyes after vitrectomy and in normal eyes we found a generally good agreement between the 2 methods, although high interindividual discrepancies were present. Our findings suggest that the 2 devices should not be used interchangeably in IOP evaluation after vitrectomy with gas endotamponade, which remains a difficult challenge. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 August 2016.
All research outputs
#20,656,820
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Glaucoma
#2,284
of 2,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#299,486
of 381,036 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Glaucoma
#58
of 84 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,829 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.6. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 381,036 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 84 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
