Methods: Three measurements TPST, using EASYTON tonometer, and IOP using GAT, have been sequentially performed on 73 right eyes of 73 control patients (aged 24–83) (mean age 57.4 ± 16.3 years). In addition, 12 eyes of 12 patients undergoing corneal or surface surgery (PK, DSAEK, pterigium) have been evaluated with TPST and digital palpation tonometry in the immediate postoperative period (1–2 and 7 days). We evaluated the post‐surgical cases subjectively in normal tone by palpation, ocular hypotonia and hypertonia. Subsequently, we carried out an objective IOP measurement with Easyton and assessed the correlation of results. Results: Mean IOP spread (as demonstrated by three consecutive IOP measurements with EASYTON) was 1.32 mm Hg thus showing a high degree of repeatability. IOP measured using the TPST was 18.2 ± 2.9 mmHg in the control group. With GAT were 18.3 ± 2.5 mmHg in the control group. There are no statistically significant differences between both variables for the same sample. During the second evaluation, a high degree of the similarity of IOP measurements with palpation and TPST was demonstrated in the operated eyes after corneal and surface surgery. Conclusions: EASYTON tonometry demonstrated repeatability of IOP indicators when measuring the same eye three times sequentially. There are no statistically significant differences between TPST and GAT in the control group. EASYTON transpalpebral IOP tonometer prevents the subjectivity of IOP measurements after PK and other corneal or surface surgeries and makes an objective tonometry available. The lack of the contact with the cornea, a rather high accuracy and repeatability, and the lack of negative effects allow for using this device in these cases. info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 3.4 2022 OPHTHALMOLOGY 16 / 62 = 0.258 2022 Q2 T1 1.128 2022 Ophthalmology 2022 Q1 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 6.2 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Casas Pascual, Paula López Rodríguez, Nuria Marco Monzón, Sara Ascaso, Javier Lanchares Sancho, Elena Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-2959-0628 1013 646 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
