摘要：

A hand-held noncontact tonometer (Pulsair, Keeler Ltd., UK) was tested in 42 children, from 5 months to 12 years of age. At least 1 intraocular pressure (IOP) reading was obtained in all of the 84 eyes studied, whereas with a Goldman applanation tonometer measurements could be obtained in only 26 eyes (14 subjects). Time required for examination with the Pulsair was quite variable and related to age (p < 0.0001). Compliance in children was reported as "good" in the majority of cases; it was also age-related (p < 0.005). Although its reliability could not be definitely evaluated, the results of this study indicate that this instrument may be a valuable choice for screening and follow-up purposes in childhood.
