- Brief Summary
This study shows good agreement of IOP measurement between the new, first reusing, second reusing and third reusing measurement values of the same Icare probe which was analyzed by the Bland-Altman method. Moreover, the results dose not appear to be clinically significant. Thus, for mass screenings in developing countries where cost savings is crucial, reuse of Icare tonometer probes seems reasonable.
