INTENDED USE
The applanation tonometer is an accessory device for the slit lamps
that enables to measure the intra-ocular eye pressure, for the
diagnosis of some ophthalmological diseases. The intra-ocular pressure
measurement is useful to evaluate the patient's risk of developing
glaucoma. The applanation tonometer functions according to the
'Goldmann method': the measurement of the intraocular pressure is
given by the required force to maintain a uniform applanation of the
corneal surface.
The intraocular pressure measurement is conducted on the patient by
means of the measuring prism in contact with the patient's cornea.
During the exam the measuring prism is installed on the tonometer
arm support. The tonometer is installed on the slit lamp.
Because of the direct contact with the corneal surface, it could be
necessary to apply a local anesthetic in the patient's eye.
High precision measurement device. The average deviation (standard)
in every single exam is ± 0,5 mmHg circa.
