For Reichert IOP readings Medisoft records additional values (IOP G, IOP CC, reliability score 0-10). There is also a CH value. Please explain. @Nigel Morlet @Ashley Kras

I'll have to look at the Reichert spec -re IOP G and IOP CC, reliability seems self evident, it also produces a corneal hysteresis measure which might be the CH (how much the corneal bends when puffed by the column of air) - not a IOP measurement as such.

Currently in the IG there is no way to record Corneal Compensated IOP and IOPg (Goldman correlated)

Probably not important just now as the Reichert reading is not currently a widely accepted measure as such, (ie not fully validated) although corneal thickness is a well accepted to influence the measure such that thicker cornea over read the true IOP, and thinner IOP under read the true measure. Best to have IOP, device, along with the separate corneal thickness measure and the device measuring the corneal thickness

+1 from me
