Reproducibility was evaluated in terms of different operators and inclination angles. Both the maximum and average ELP were evaluated.

The ICCs for reproducibility in terms of different operator or inclination angle also achieved good to excellent outcomes. Certain associations have been revealed between the ELP and corneal tomographic/biomechanical parameters. Tomographically, ELP influences corneal front J0, front asphericity, and the index of surface variance; whereas biomechanically, ELP affects the time at first applanation, deformation amplitude at highest concavity, and biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>The tensiometer showed good precision.
