We are testing the accuracy of Reichert's Tono-Vera tonometer by comparing measurements of IOP with this device and measurements with other commonly-used tonometers, including Goldmann Applanation and iCare.
This is a comparative study between the TonoVera, the gold standard Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) and an established rebound tonometry device, iCare. IOP measurements will be obtained using the following devices: Reichert's prototype Tono-Vera Rebound tonometer (a rebound tonometer in development), iCare's iC100 rebound tonometer (a device commonly used in clinical practice), GAT (a device commonly used in clinical practice). Reichert's iPac Handheld Pachymeter (a device commonly used in clinical practice) will be used to measure the test subject's Central Corneal Thickness (CCT), measured in µm if CCT is not already on file. An Autorefractor Keratometer (ARK) (a device commonly used in clinical practice) will be used to measure necessary vision correction and corneal curvature. The Ocular Response Analyzer (a device commonly used in clinical practice) will be used to measure corneal hysteresis. Multiple IOP measurements will be taken with each device on each eye for all subjects: 3 along the central cornea, 3 along the peripheral cornea, and 3 along the sclera.

The tonometer measures intraocular pressure with a small rebound probe, similar to those used with other tonometers currently on the market, such as the iCare.
This is the current gold standard for measuring eye pressure.
