QUICK GUIDE

MEASUREMENT 1. Ask the patient to relax and look straight ahead at a specific point to keep the eye steady during the measurement.

4. Press the measuring button lightly. The tip of the probe should make contact with the central cornea.

2. Bring the tonometer near the patient’s eye. Check that the central groove is in a horizontal position. It’s not necessary to look at the display during the measurement since the device gives sound signals about errors etc.

5. Six measurements are made. Once the six correct measurements are done, the IOP will be shown on display.

3. Keep the distance from the tip of the probe to the patient’s cornea at 4 to 8 millimeters (1/6-1/3 inch). If necessary, adjust the forehead support.

Press either selector button until the display shows ‘End‘. Press the measuring button for two seconds - the display will show ‘byE’ and the tonometer will switch off. If the tonometer is not used for two minutes, it will automatically switch off.
