Study summary

Prospective, open-labeled, randomized, controlled, multicenter study at two clinical investigative sites in Tucson, Arizona. The subjects will undergo intraocular pressure measurement with the CATS tonometer prism and the Goldmann applanation tonometer prism (GAT). Seventy-five (75) Subjects 18 and older and will be enrolled. Subjects will be screened based on standard of care vision examination at the clinical investigation sites. All subjects will undergo a standard ophthalmic exam and informed consent. IOP will be measured using a Goldmann tonometer armature with both the standard flat GAT prism and the modified curved CATS prism alternately inserted. The only additional measurement is central corneal thickness (CCT) which is used to correct for one of the corneal biomechanical errors seen in the GAT prism and is currently standard of care.

Inclusion criteria

  • Written (and assent when applicable) obtained from subject or subject's legal representative and ability for subject to comply with the requirements of the study.
  • Male and female patients, at least 18 years of age

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has undergone ocular surgery within the last 3 months
  • Uncontrolled systemic disease that in the opinion of the Investigator would put the subject's heath at risk
  • Pregnant or nursing women
  • Subjects with only one functional eye
  • Those with one eye having poor or eccentric fixation
  • Eyes displaying an oval contact image
  • Those with corneal scarring or who have had corneal surgery including corneal laser surgery
  • Microphthalmos
  • Buphthalmos
  • Contact lens wearers
  • Severe Dry eyes
  • Lid squeezers - blepharospasm
  • Nystagmus
  • Keratoconus
  • Any other corneal or conjunctival pathology or infection.
  • Central corneal thickness between 0.600 mm and 0.500 mm (more than 2 standard deviations about the human mean)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Goldmann Tonometer

    determine if the CATS tonometer prism effectively reduces sensitivity to IOP errors produced by corneal thickness and therefore provides a more accurate IOP reading compared to the reference tonometer (Goldmann prism), based upon the correction value table for Goldmann tonometer prism

    Device: Goldmann Tonometer prism

  • Active comparator
    CATS tonometer

    determine if the CATS tonometer prism effectively reduces sensitivity to IOP errors produced by corneal thickness and therefore provides a more accurate IOP reading compared to the reference tonometer (Goldmann prism), based upon the correction value table for Goldmann tonometer prism

    Device: CATS tonometer prism

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. All subjects will have CATS tonometer prism intraocular pressure readings compared to Goldmann tonometer prism readings.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until 24 hours

  2. All subjects will have corneal thickness measurements performed and the CATS tonometer prism intraocular pressure readings will be compared to Goldmann tonometer readings using a correction value table.

    Time frame: From date of randomization until 24 hours

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 22, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
