In each dog, tonometry was performed with the ICare Tonovet rebound tonometer by 3 examiners with different levels of experience in usage of the device. One examiner had been performing rebound tonometry for 20 years, one examiner had been performing rebound tonometry for 2 years and one examiner had never used a rebound tonometer prior to this study. To prevent the inexperienced examiner from becoming experienced, every 10 dogs a different inexperienced examiner was asked to perform the measurements. Statistical analysis was performed using Scatterplot, Pearson Correlation, simple linear correlation, Bland-Altman-Plot as well as an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a Tukey-test.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>A significant positive correlation was found between inter-user IOP measurements. User experience did not have a significant impact on intraocular pressure measurements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this study, which was performed on anesthetized dogs, IOP measurements
