Better Than The Air Puff Test? (Icare Tonometer)

This is a demonstration of the ICARE Tonometer, a device that can measure intraocular eye pressure without using the dreaded puff of air!

The non-contact tonometer, air-puff test, does a great job at screening for irregular eye pressure to test for glaucoma. There are other alternatives to measure intraocular pressure as well. Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is consider the gold standard at measure eye pressure. It does require a numbing eye drop to obtain the measurement. Another option is called the Icare Tonometer. No air or eye drops are required to get this measurement, and can be fairly reliable and accurate when done right. A lot of patients prefer this method over the others.
