Summary

This trial aims to compare the accuracy of two intraocular pressure measuring instruments, Icare and Accupen, with the Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) following eye surgery. The study

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who have undergone vitreoretinal surgery and need their intraocular pressure (IOP) measured the following day. The study aims to include participants who can safely undergo IOP measurements with different instruments.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the accuracy of two IOP-measuring devices, Icare and Accupen, against the gold standard Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), after eye surgery. Participants will have their IOP checked by all three methods one day post-operation.
What are the potential side effects?
There are generally minimal side effects associated with measuring intraocular pressure using these devices; however, there might be slight discomfort or temporary blurring of vision during the measurement process.
