The Tonometer is a device used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. It is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma, a condition that can lead to blindness if left untreated. Tonometers are used to measure the pressure inside the eye, which is an indicator of the health of the eye. There are two main types of tonometers: applanation and non-contact. Applanation tonometers measure IOP by flattening the cornea with a small, weighted plunger. Non-contact tonometers measure IOP by using a beam of light to measure the corneal curvature.
