    Abstract:

    AIM:To evaluate the clinical performance of Icare rebound tonometer by comparing the intraocular pressure (IOP) values mea-sured by Icare,Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT).·METHODS:IOP measurement was performed on 152 eyes of 78 subjects by Icare,GAT and DCT respectively.All subjects were devided into three groups(high,medium and low IOP groups)according to their IOP values,the IOP measured by Icare,GAT and DCT were compared.·RESULTS:The mean IOP of Icare,GAT and DCT were 19.16±5.03mmHg,18.41±4.52mmHg and 17.23±3.69mmHg respectively.Compared with each other,there were significant differences in IOP of Icare,GAT and DCT,however,there were closely correlations between each other.The mean IOP differences between each other increased along with the increase IOP in the high,medium and low IOP groups.·CONCLUSION:The IOP measured by Icare was accurate and credible at the same time,there were closely correlations between the IOP of Icare and the IOP of GAT and DCT.
