ABSTRACT: Will Goldmann Applanation Tonometry, the age old “gold standard” of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, be replaced with newer methods? One of the newer methods of IOP measurement is Pascal, dynamic contour tonometry (DCT). A review of the history, scientific principles, clinical validation and clinical utility of DCT is presented.
