Abstract
In children, corneal and scleral IOP are correlated significantly when measured by pneumatonometry. Measurements obtained from the inferotemporal sclera are better predictors of corneal IOP than those obtained from inferonasal sclera. Pneumatonometry on the inferotemporal sclera may be an alternative method to estimate IOP for pediatric patients from whom corneal IOP measurement is difficult to obtain.
