PURPOSE: To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) values by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and Reichert 7 CR noncontact tonometry (R7CR-NCT) in @entity1 with postsurgical @entity3279 and to examine the impact of postoperative @entity3279 on these values. METHODS: Forty-six @entity1 with grade 4 and 5 @entity231 were included in this study. Intraocular pressure was measured using GAT and R7CR-NCT before and 1 day after phacoemulsification. @entity2840 ( @entity2840 ) was determined before and after surgery to quantify postsurgical @entity3279 . The R7CR-NCT provided a Goldmann-correlated IOP (IOPg) and corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc). RESULTS: The @entity2840 increased significantly 1 day after surgery (the mean preoperative @entity2840 , 543.5    25.4  m; the mean postoperative @entity2840 , 681.5    19.8  m; p < 0.001), a mean increase of 26.7%. The preoperative R7CR-NCT measurements (the mean IOPcc, 18.8    5.6 mm Hg; the mean IOPg, 17.8    4.5 mm Hg) were significantly higher than GAT measurements (the mean GAT-IOP, 16.0    3.4 mm Hg) (p < 0.001). On postoperative day 1, the R7CR-NCT measurement (the mean IOPcc, 27.0    9.8 mm Hg; the mean IOPg, 25.1    8.9 mm Hg) were significantly higher than GAT measurements (the mean GAT-IOP, 18.3    7.9 mm Hg) (p < 0.001). The difference between postoperative R7CR-NCT and GAT-IOP values were significantly higher than the difference between preoperative R7CR-NCT and GAT-IOP values (p < 0.001 for both @entity14782 ). The difference between postoperative IOPcc and GAT-IOP was significantly correlated to the change in @entity2840 (r = 0.526, p < 0.001). Similarly, the difference between postoperative IOPg and GAT-IOP was significantly correlated to the change in @entity2840 (r = 0.536, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The R7CR-NCT IOP values were high in @entity1 with postsurgical intensive @entity3279 . Consequently, the difference between R7CR-NCT IOP and GAT-IOP increased in @entity4 .
