  Purpose

To determine if the Barraquer tonometer provides an accurate and reliable measurement of intraocular pressure. The Barraquer tonometer is a device used to safely and painlessly measure intraocular pressure.


Condition Intervention
Elevated Intraocular Pressure
 Device: Barraquer tonometer

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Official Title: Study to Compare the Accuracy and Variability of the Barraquer Tonometer With Other Methods of Tonometry

Further study details as provided by Barnes Retina Institute:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Central corneal thickness as measured by pachymetry [ Time Frame: at time of measurement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Intraocular pressure as measured by Schiotz tonometer [ Time Frame: at time of measurement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Tonopen [ Time Frame: at time of measurement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Barraquer tonometer [ Time Frame: at time of measurement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • and Perkins tonometer [ Time Frame: at time of measurement ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 300
Study Start Date: November 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date: November 2008
Estimated Primary Completion Date: November 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

    Device: Barraquer tonometer
    barraquer tonometer
Detailed Description:

Intraocular pressure will be checked using four different methods of tonometry. These four methods will include Tonopen, Goldmann applanation tonometry, Schiotz tonometry, and Barraquer tonometer. The data will then be compared to determine the reliability and accuracy of the Barraquer tonometer.
