To assess normal intraocular pressure values of the child population the authorsexamined a group of 215 children aged 4 to 15 years with a normal ophthalmolo-gical finding, a total of 406 eyes.All tonometric examinations were made without general anaesthesia or otherpharmacological measures influencing the air-puff contact-free tonometer NT1100 NIDEK, always the mean of three reliable results.Although there were certain variations of the intraocular pressure, they were notcorrelated to the child´s age after the age of 4 years.The mean intraocular pressure in the whole group of 406 eyes was 16.08 ± 3.08 mmHg.Knowledge of normal values of the IOP in children is important for diagnosis aswell as for monitoring of already verified glaucoma.
Key words: normal intraocular pressure, child´s eye
