Association between Rates of Visual Field Progression and Intraocular Pressure Measurements Obtained by Different Tonometers.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To investigate the associations between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained by different tonometric methods and rates of visual field loss in a cohort of patients with glaucoma followed over time. DESIGN:Prospective, observational cohort study. PARTICIPANTS:This study included 213 eyes of 125 glaucomatous patients who were followed for an average of 2.4±0.6 years. METHODS:At each visit, IOP measurements were obtained using Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), the Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) (Reichert, Inc., Depew, NY), corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc), and the ICare Rebound Tonometer (RBT) (Tiolat, Oy, Helsinki, Finland). Rates of visual field loss were assessed by standard automated perimetry (SAP) mean deviation (MD). Linear mixed models were used to investigate t
