Abstract
SummaryIn Section I comparisons are made between the repeatability of corneal and scleral tonometry findings. Certain differences in the mean values, and the values for repeatability, were found which were statistically significant. These differences disappeared when a careful technique was used. A clinical interpretation of the results is offered.In Section II an analysis of those factors which can affect repeatability of scleral tonometry is given.
