A member asked:
Are non-contact tonometers (nct) reliable enough in determining iot? what does a nct value of 16 imply?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
generally useful: The 'gold' standard is the goldmann applanation tonometer. Nct's have been tested to compare with this standard and are generally reliable in good hands. A value of 16 is in the middle of the normal range and in the absence of any other issues, is a good place to be.
