About this trial

Intraocular pressure is measured regularly at any and all visits with your eye doctor or optometrist.

The purpose of this study is to compare measurements of eye pressure at the end of the surgery, comparing the ability of a gloved finger or sterile cotton-tipped applicator ("Q-tip") to accurately measure intraocular pressure against a standardized instrument designed for this purpose.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All patients undergoing Pars Plana Vitrectomy between June 25, 2024 - and December 30, 2024, will be included.

Disqualifiers

Patients with complicated Pars Plana Vitrectomy (choroidal hemorrhage, retrobulbar hemorrhage)

Patients with irregular cornea surface will be excluded (keratoconus, band keratopathy, corneal edema, corneal transplant, cornea scarring)

Patients undergoing combined scleral buckling at time of surgery

Patients with previous glaucoma filtration surgery (ie. trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery)
