  1. IOPc and IOPg Measurement Agreement and Multi-variate analysis.
  2. Bland-Altman IOP measurement agreement analysis demonstrated a significant bias between the two measurements in the study population for both the pre- and post-LASIK and post-PRK groups (Fig. 3-A,B,C). There was no significant differential IOP correlation to the average IOP (Tables 2, 4 and 5)
