**4. Strategies for overcoming challenges in IOP measurements in keratitis patients**

To overcome the challenges associated with IOP measurements in keratitis patients, several strategies can be employed. These include corneal pachymetry, tear film stabilization, and the management of topical medications.

Corneal pachymetry is a noninvasive method for measuring corneal thickness, which can help to correct IOP measurements in patients with corneal edema or thinning. Corneal pachymetry can be used to adjust IOP measurements obtained using GAT or as a baseline for measurements obtained using DCT.

Tear film stabilization can be achieved through artificial tears or punctual plugs, reducing fluctuations in IOP measurements due to tear film instability.

The management of topical medications in keratitis patients can help to reduce the effects of these medications on IOP measurements. This can include reducing the frequency or dose of medications that affect corneal properties or switching to alternative medications that have less impact on IOP measurements.
