The preoperative intraocular pressure level predicts the amount of underestimated intraocular pressure after LASIK for myopia

Table 3

 Correlation coefficients between underestimated IOP (ΔGAT and ΔncIOP) at 3 months for six parameters

ΔGAT (correlation coefficient†) 95% CI p Value ΔncIOP (correlation coefficient) 95% CI p Value
Δ, difference between the preoperative and the 3 month postoperative data; CI, confidence interval; GAT, Goldmann applanation tonometric intraocular pressure; ncIOP, non-contact tonometric intraocular pressure; CCT, central corneal thickness.
Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
