Applications

  • Accurate intraocular pressure measurement
  • Glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring

The applanation tonometer measures intraocular pressure by the force needed to flatten a defined corneal area, the clinical reference method. It mounts to a slit lamp or comes as a handheld unit. Central to glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring.

What to check before ordering

  • Mount type. Confirm which slit lamp it must fit before ordering — mounts are not universal.
  • Prisms. Check how many measuring prisms are included and whether spares are available.
  • Handheld or mounted. Tell us which configuration you need; the choice follows your examination workflow.
  • Verification. Ask what check method ships with the instrument so your staff can confirm readings in service.
