AB  - PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare intraocular pressures (IOP) measured by 
      dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) with Goldmann tonometry (GAT) in Descemet 
      stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) eyes. The agreeability between the 2 
      established methods and their relation to central corneal thickness (CCT) was 
      also studied. DESIGN: A comparative case series. METHODS: Forty-six eyes of DSEK 
      were enrolled at least 3 months after the procedure. Thirty-five other eyes of 
      the same patient cohort served as control. Intraocular pressures were measured by 
      DCT and GAT by 2 different examiners in a randomized manner. Central corneal 
      thickness was measured by ultrasonic pachymetry. Statistical analysis was used 
      for the calculation of means, SD, coefficient of determination, linear 
      regression, and Bland and Altman plot. Statistical significance was considered as 
      P < 0.05. RESULTS: Mean CCT was 624.49 mum and 518.41 mum in DSEK and control eyes, 
      respectively. Mean IOP by GAT and DCT, respectively, was 19.4 and 21.5 mm Hg in 
      DSEK eyes and 15.12 and 17.6 mm Hg in controls. Descemet stripping endothelial 
      keratoplasty eyes showed universally higher IOP by either method in comparison 
      with normal controls. Dynamic contour tonometry reading was significantly higher 
      than GAT in both (P < 0.05) groups. The correlation between IOP and CCT was not 
      significant in DSEK eyes (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A higher baseline IOP is to be 
      expected in DSEK eyes, which is independent of corneal thickness. Both GAT and 
      DCT can be used as a standard method to measure IOP in DSEK eyes, but their 
      readings cannot be used interchangeably.
