This study involved 64 eyes of 32 patients who was referred to the Ophthalmology clinic of the Uludag University Medical Faculty, for refraction and have no other ophthalmological problem except a refractive error. Two observers obtained IOP readings with Icare tonometer before a local anestetic drop and then also with Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). These two readings are compared with each other. For this purpose the analysis of percentage change, intraclass correlation, analysis of Pearson correlation and the Mann- Whitney tests are used; the avarege, median, standart deviation and minimum-maximum values are calculated and the level of significance is accepted as 0.05. In addition, central corneal thickness values of all the patients are obtained with Pentacam®. Also for the assesment of these measurements the Mann Whitney test and analysis of Pearson correlation are used and teh level of significance is also accepted as 0.05. The differance between the two methods (ICare-GAT) determined as for right eyes 0 (ranges -0.40 and 0.82) and for left eyes 0 (ranges between-0.29 and 1.00). There was no significant difference statistically between the IOP measurements of two methods (p> 0.05) The intraclass correlation coefficiency was significantly high with ICare and GAT methods (p}, number={2}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ University}
