Abstract

Objective To investigate the factors affecting noncontact tonometer measurement of intraocular pressure after laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK). Methods The intraocular pressure readings of 159 cases were measured with noncontact tonometer(NCT) before and six months after LASIK was performed. Results The intraocular pressure readings after LASIK were much lower than that before LASIK with statistically significant difference. Conclusion The intraocular pressure readings are lower after LASIK,whcich may be caused by the changes in corneal thickness because of laser treatment.
