Influence of Ocular Dimensional Change on 24-Hour Intraocular Pressure Measurement With Contact Lens Sensor

Purpose: We measured changes in the corneal morphology and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after the use of contact lens sensor (CLS). Then, we investigated whether the ocular dimensional change affected the measured IOP value with CLS. Material and Methods: In this prospective study, we examined 112 eyes of glaucoma patients. We measured the IOP fluctuation using a Sensimed Triggerfish CLS. We measured the corneal morphology before and after making measurements using a CLS in anterior segment optic coherent optical coherence tomography and measured the IOP with a Goldmann applanation tonometer. We investigated the correlation between these ocular dimensional changes and the last IOP value with CLS. Results: Measurement with the CLS significantly increased the IOP (P=0.0305), made the corneal thickness (CT) significantly thicker (P
