Transpalpebral tonometry: reliability and comparison with Goldmann applanation tonometry and palpation in healthy volunteers

Table 2

 Description of the intraindividual comparison (means, medians, quartiles, minimum, and maximum of intraindividual differences) between IOP measurements using TGDc-01 tonometry, Goldmann applanation tonometry, and palpation of IOP (based on averages of three respective replicate measurements for Goldmann applanation tonometry and on averages of two parallel observers’ results for TGDc-01 tonometry); sign test p values for pairwise comparisons

Mean (mm Hg) Median (Q1; Q3) (mm Hg) Minimum (mm Hg) Maximum (mm Hg) p Value (sign test)
TGDc-01 minus palpation −1 −2 (−4; 1) −8 6 0.018
TGDc-01 minus Goldmann 0 0 (−1; 2) −6 5 0.522
Palpation minus Goldmann 1 2 (−2; 4) −5 8 0.429
TGDc-01 (observer 1–2) 1 −1 (−4; 2) −7 5 0.200
