Aim: To study and correlate the Intraocular pressure measured by Schiotz indentation tonometer and Goldmann applanation tonometer.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional Analytical study was done in 200 eyes of 100 purposively selected patients and were subjected to two methods of tonometry - Goldmann applanation tonometry and Schiotz indentation tonometry in a period of 10 months from January 2024 to October 2024. Correlation between the two values was then observed and the agreement between the two was plotted on Bland Altman plot. Results- There was positive correlation found between the IOP measured by Schiotz indentation tonometer and Goldmann Applanation tonometer and there was no systematic difference found between the two on Bland Altman plot.
Conclusion: In conclusion, IOP readings using Schiotz indentation tonometer do correlate with Goldmann applanation tonometer. Hence, as being portable and relatively cost effective, Schiotz tonometer can be used in rural settings for baseline IOP measurement.
