Comparison of Intraocular Pressure Measurement With the Novel TonoVera Device With Other Commonly Used Devices
What this study is about
We are testing the accuracy of Reichert's Tono-Vera tonometer by comparing measurements of IOP with this device and measurements with other commonly-used tonometers, including Goldmann Applanation and iCare.
View original scientific description
We are testing the accuracy of Reichert's Tono-Vera tonometer by comparing measurements of IOP with this device and measurements with other commonly-used tonometers, including Goldmann Applanation and iCare.
Interventions
DEVICE
Tono-Vera tonometer
The tonometer measures intraocular pressure with a small rebound probe, similar to those used with other tonometers currently on the market, such as the iCare.
DEVICE
Goldman Applanation Tonometry
This is the current gold standard for measuring eye pressure.
Primary outcome measures
Intraocular Pressure
Time frame: Baseline only
pressure inside the eye
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Ability to provide signed and dated informed consent form. Patients willing to comply with all study procedures and be available for the duration of the study. Male or female patients aged 18 to 99 Patients in good general health as evidenced by ability to come to their appointment on day of study.
Exclusion criteria
- Patients age less than 18 years Patients unable or unwilling to provide informed consent to participate in the study Patients for which an accurate tonometry reading cannot be performed. This may include those with blepharospasm (lid squeezers), nystagmus, extensive corneal pathology, or contact lens wearers who cannot remove their contact lens.Patients with significant scleral thinning Patients with a known allergy to proparacaine or fluorescein as these are used to anesthetize and allow measurement respectively of the eye when used with the Goldmann tonometer.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
