Abstract

Background: Goldmann’s applanation tonometer has received a great importance becausethis method is independent of ocular rigidity it is little influenced by variations in cornealcurvature and it records IOP by directly inflating the cornea in Goldmann’s applanation tonometry surface tension of the tear
