To examine the difference in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by using Goldman applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometer (DCT) tonometry in published literature and determine the influence of central corneal thickness (CCT), age, and altitude on that difference.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Articles that compare GAT and DCT were selected for an extensive literature review, and the location and altitude of the research centers were found online.

The results showed that the difference between DCT and GAT was higher at higher altitudes above sea level and increased with thinner corneas. However, the results were different in eyes with corneal transplants, where altitude and CCT had less influence, and in those post-refractive surgery where age was found to influence the difference. Theoretical correction formulas using altitude, CCT, and age were derived from this meta-analysis, but their accuracy and usefulness in clinical practice need validation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings suggest that there is a higher risk of underestimating IOP when the Goldmann tonometer is used at a higher altitude, particularly in eyes with glaucoma, thinner corneas, or corneal refractive surgery. Further research is needed to validate the accuracy of the correction formulas derived from this meta-analysis in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n
