Abstract. Purpose:To evaluate the ICare® tonometer for use in infants. Cases and Method:This study was made on 36 eyes of 18 infants under one year of age. They were either suspected for glaucoma or were referred to us for systemic problems. All were given peroral triclofos sodium for sedation. Intraocular pressure(IOP)was measured in sitting position by ICare® tonometer and in recumbent position by Perkins tonometer. Results:IOP by ICare® ranged from 6 to 37 mmHg,average 14.6±7.0 mmHg. IOP by Perkins tonometer ranged from 8 to 42 mmHg,average 17.1±7.0 mmHg. The difference was significant(p<0.05). IOP values by the two methods differed by -3 to 7 mmHg,average 2.4±2.0 mmHg. IOP by Perkins tonometer was higher in 31 eyes. IOP values by the two tonometers were positively correlated,with simple regression analysis showing a linear equation of y=0.9559x+3.0906. Conclusion:IOP value by Perkins tonometer was higher possibly because of measurement in recumbent position. ICare® tonometer promises to be of value as a tool in screening in infants.
