Aims: The aims of this study were to evaluate the accuracy, repeatability, and safety of multiple intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by a commercially available rebound tonometer in conscious, conditioned mice, and to characterize the acute and profound effects of anesthesia on IOP in mice.Methods: To test the accuracy of the tonometer, IOPs of CD-1 mice under ketamine/xylazine anesthesia were experimentally set and monitored with a water manometer/transducer system following transcorneal cannulation while simultaneously performing tonometry. The long- and short-term repeatability of the tonometer was tested in conscious, restrained mice, as measurements were taken once-daily in the afternoon for 4 consecutive days. On day 5, IOPs were measured in the same mice once every 4 min for 32 min. On 2 separate days, mice were administered ketamine/xylazine or 2,2,2-tribromoethanol anesthesia, in a crossover design, and IOPs were measured once every 2 min for 32 min. Rebound tonometry was performed in conscious mice before and 1 hour after 1 drop of timolol maleate (10 mu L of 0.5%) application to 1 eye.Results: IOP measurements by rebound tonometry correlated well with manometry for pressures between 8 and 38 mmHg (y = 0.98x - 0.32, R-2 = 0.94; P < 0.001). The, average tonometric IOP was invariant over 4 days (range, 11.7-13.2 mmHg). IOPs dropped significantly (P
