iCare Tonometer

Tonometry measures the pressure inside your eye, which is known as intraocular pressure. Elevated intraocular pressure can be a sign of glaucoma, a serious eye condition that can cause vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Traditionally, tonometry involves using a machine that emits a puff of air onto the eye, which can be uncomfortable and intimidating for many patients. However, advances in technology have led to the development of the iCare tonometer, a non-invasive and more comfortable alternative for measuring intraocular pressure. 

iCare Tonometer – no more “puff of air”!  

The iCare tonometer is a small, handheld device that uses a specialized probe to gently touch the cornea and measure the pressure inside the eye. Unlike traditional tonometry machines, the iCare tonometer does not require any numbing eye drops or air puffs, making it a more comfortable and less intimidating experience for patients. 

The iCare tonometer is ideal for patients sensitive to the air puff eye test, including children, seniors, or those with physical or cognitive challenges. It also works well for patients with recent corneal surgery or abnormalities that make traditional methods difficult.  

In addition to being more comfortable for patients, the iCare tonometer also provides accurate and reliable measurements of intraocular pressure. Schedule an appointment today to have your intraocular pressure checked comfortably with the iCare tonometer.
