Abstract
Applanation tonometry is the method of measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) with instruments the corneal surface. The Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) is regarded as the “gold standard’’ of measuring IOP. An irregular and opaque corneal surface compromises IOP measurement by Goldmann applanation tonometry. In such cases accurate measurement without corneal contact would be applicable. The transpalpebral tonometer is new method and measures IOP without corneal contact through the eyelid.

Abstract
Applanasyon tonometrisi kornea yüzeyinden aletler kullanılarak göz içi basıncı ölçen bir yöntemdir. Goldman applanasyon tonometrisi göz içi basınç ölçümünde altın standart olarak görülmektedir. Düzensiz ve opak kornealarda Goldman applanasyon tonometrisi ile göz içi basınç ölçümü güçleşmektedir. Bu gibi durumlarda korneaya temas olmadan ölçüm yapmak daha uygun olacaktır. Transpalpebral tonometri korneal temas olmadan göz kapağı üzerinden göz içi basıncı ölçen yeni bir metoddur.
