Comparative Study[Clinical discrepancy between Schiötz and Perkins Tonometry in juvenile glaucoma].
In infantile glaucoma Schiotz and Perkins tonometry are often divergent. However, empirical data about the quantitative relation of Schiotz' and Perkins' measurements are lacking for this group of patients. ⋯ Marked discrepancy of applanation and indentation tonometry in infantile glaucoma is frequent. Decision for surgery should not base on tonometry alone, but on evaluation of additional clinical criteria like optic disc cup, corneal morphology and individual anamnesis.
