MEASUREMENT
-
Bring the tonometer near the patient’s eye.
NOTE! Avoid excessive restraining, as it may alter the IOP. Patient’s head should be held as lightly as possible; be careful not to put pressure on the neck or the eye ball. If a collar is worn, make sure it is not too tight or remove it for measurement. -
To perform a successful measurement, the distance from the tip of the probe to the patient’s cornea (see pictures) should be about 4-8 mm (about 5/32 – 5/16 in.). Bring the tonometer in front of the patient’s eye with the probe pointing to the center of the cornea. The probe base light must be green (indicating correct measuring position.)
