Assessment of a new Goldmann applanation tonometer.

Abstract

The new GAT digital is as reliable and safe as GAT standard. IOP values correlate well.

It offers a digitised display and a wireless transfer of data.

The display of values up to the first decimal digit is not necessarily associated with a more precise measurement, but may offer an additional comfort compared with the 2 mm Hg scale of the classic GAT.
