Excessively high vault, shallow ACD, narrow ACA, low ACV, and soft cornea are associated with a lower E-ICL distance and thus may be risk factors for a contact between the corneal endothelium and ICL during IOP measurement. Although there is no proof that the contact may cause any risks to the endothelium, noncontact air-puff tonometry should be avoided in eyes predicted by the study model to be at risk of this occurring. Contact IOP measurements using Goldmann applanation tonometers or dynamic contour tonometers may be alternate methods of IOP measurements in extreme cases.
