Our optometrists use a tonometer to measure the eye pressure. This is one of the tests for assessing for the presence of glaucoma.
High street opticians usually use a machine that is described by patients as the “puff of air” test.
At The Outside Clinic, the instrument used to measure the eye pressure is called an I-Care tonometer. This is a quick and painless method, which requires no drops, and doesn't puff air into the eye, although there may be a slight “tickling” sensation.
