Reliability of Intraocular Pressure Measurement by Goldmann Applanation Tonometry After Refractive Surgery: A Review [Response To Letter]

Abstract

We are very happy that Drs Iglesias and Casroli Marano read with interest the review article we published on the reliability of the different correction formulas to overcome the problem of the intraocular pressure measurements after refractive corneal surgery. 1 They complained that we forgot to mention the very interesting paper on the convex tonometer they published in 2020. 2 Unfortunately, we could not include it in our review because, as they stated in the letter, their paper was published in April 2020, and our article was submitted in the same period, so we could not be aware of their publication.However we are very glad to know that they described a device that is able to overcome the problem of measuring the IOP after CRS, because the problems raised by the CRS in several eye measurements, including IOP measurements and IOL power calculation, have been one of our main interests in the last years. [3][4][5][6] Concerning the paper by McCafferty et al 7 we agree, it was our mistake. We are sorry for this and we thank Drs Iglesias and Casroli Marano for their specification.
