Goldmann Adjustment (Dresdner) • IOP/CCT Triage

Measured IOP (mmHg)

CCT (µm)

Clinical Note: Use correction factors with caution. Gunvant et al. (2010) show that simple nomograms often overestimate the CCT effect and may worsen agreement with manometry.

Awaiting Inputs

Enter measured pressure and thickness to estimate adjusted IOP.

Clinical Utility

Adjustment of measured Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in patients with suspected ocular hypertension or glaucoma.

Mitigating errors in Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) caused by central corneal thickness (CCT) variance.

Standard screening for patients undergoing refractive surgery (pre- and post-LASIK/PRK).

Reference Standards

The average central corneal thickness in a normal population is typically 540–550 µm. Deviations from this mean result in clinically significant over- or under-estimation of true intraocular pressure.

How it Works

Dresdner Algorithm

Correction (mmHg) = (CCT - 545) / 50 * 2.5 Adjusted IOP = Measured IOP - Correction

Clinical Interpretation

Thick Cornea (>555 µm)	GAT overestimates true IOP (Measured > True).
Thin Cornea (<535 µm)	GAT underestimates true IOP (Measured < True).
Post-LASIK Cornea	Measured IOP is significantly lower than true pressure due to reduced rigidity.
