Difference in intraocular pressure measurements between non-contact tonometry and Goldmann applanation tonometry and the role of central corneal thickness in affecting glaucoma referrals

ConclusionsThe difference in IOP measurement between NCT and GAT leads to a possible increase in glaucoma referrals, particularly in patients with thicker corneas. Repeat IOP using GAT and CCT measurement would help in triaging referrals.
