  1. NCT Non-contact tonometer, iCare rebound tonometer iCare Pro, GAT Goldmann tonometry, IOP Intraocular pressure, SD Standard deviation
  2. Meanâ–³ Mean of differences (NCT–GAT, iCare–GAT), SDâ–³ Standard deviation of differences (NCT–GAT, iCare–GAT), *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, Mann Whitney test
  3. #a tolerable difference was defined as a difference within ±3 mmHg; ##a significant variability was defined as a difference over ±5 mmHg
