5.4 FITTING APPLANATION TONOMETERS, T TYPE AND Z TYPES
Keeler Applanation Tonometer (T-TYPE)
1. Position the guide plate in the tonometer/test bar support hole on the slit lamp.
2. Lift Tonometer out of the packaging and assemble it by inserting the pin on its base
into one of the two possible openings (for right or left eye) on the horizontal guide
plate above the slit lamp axis. These positions are related to the microscope optics and
observation can be made either through the right or the left eye-piece.
The tonometer will slip easily onto the support plate; stability is assured by the locking
pins.
3. To obtain an image as clear and as free of reflexes as possible, the angle between the
illumination and the microscope should be about 60° and the slit diaphragm should be
fully opened.
4. When not in use the Tonometer should be removed from the Slit Lamp and placed
securely back in the packaging or a suitable location.
Applanation Tonometer ‘Keeler Fixed’ (Z-TYPE)
This instrument is for those who wish the tonometer to remain permanently on the slit lamp.
5. Mount the plate for the tonometer onto the microscope body using the securing screw.
6. Mount the Tonometer onto the mounting post ensuring the grub screws are loose.
7. Swing the Tonometer arm forward in front of the microscope for examination. Rotate
the Tonometer body until the prism is in the centre of the view through the eyepiece.
Carefully tighten the two retaining grub screws in turn until the Tonometer is secure on
the mount and the prism is in the centre of view.
8. To obtain an image as clear and as free of reflexes as possible, the angle between the
illumination and the microscope should be about 60° and the slit diaphragm should be
fully opened.
9. When not in use the tonometer arm should be swung up against the protection plate.
