TONOMETRY
•Tonometry is the procedure performed to
determine the intraocular pressure (IOP).
CLASSIFICATION

Indentation Applanation Manometer
APPLANATION
Contact Non-contact
Goldmann Perkins Air-puff Pulse air
INDENTATION TONOMETER
• It is based on fundamental fact that
plunger will indent a soft eye more than
hard eye.
• The indentation tonometer in current
use is that of Schiotz .
• It was devised in 1905 and continued
to refine it through 1927.
PROCEDURE
•Patient should be anaesthetising with 4%
lignocaine or 0.5% proparacaine.
•with the patient in supine position, looking up
at a fixation target while examiners separates
the lids and lower the tonometer plate to rest
on the cornea so that plunger is free to move.
•The 5.5gm weight is initially used.
•If the scale reading is 4 or less , additional
weight is added.
ADVANTAGES
•Simple Technique
•Elegant design
•Portable
•No need for slit lamp or power supply
•Reasonably priced
•Widely used tonometer
Goldmann tonometry
•The concept was introduced by goldmann in
1954
•It is based on IMBERT FICK LAW
•It states that the pressure inside an ideal
sphere (P) is equal to force (F) required to
flatten(A)
•P=F/A
Cont…
•Most popular and accurate tonometer.
•It consists of double prism mounted on slit
lamp.
•The prism applanates the cornea in an area of
3.06 mm diameter.
Technique
•Topical anesthesia
•Staining tear film with fluorescein.
•The cornea and biprisms are illuminated with
cobalt blue light.
•Biprism just touches the apex of cornea.
•At this point two fluorescent semicircles are
viewed through prism.
•Applanation force against cornea is adjusted
until inner edges of two semicircles just
touches.
•Technical
•Tonometer out of calibration
•Repeated tonometry
•Pressing on the eyelids or globe
•Squeezing of the eyelids
Advantages
•Highly accurate
•Do not requires supine position
•portable
Disadvantages
•Not portable
•costly
•reading error if scares on cornea
Perkins Tonometer
•It uses the same biprism as the Goldmann
applanation.
•The light source is powered by battery.
•The readings are consistent and compared
quite well with the Goldmann applanation.
Perkins Tonometer
•Perkins –
•Handheld
•Horizontal as well as vertical
•Infants, children, recumbent patients
Advantages
•Portable
•Does not requires electricity
Disadvantage
•It requires supine position
•Costly
Pneumatic tonometer
•Cornea is applanated by touching apex by
silastic diaphragm covering sensing nozzle.
•It is connected to central chamber containing
pressurized air.
•There is pneumatic to electronic transducer.
•It converts the air pressure to recording on
paper strip and IOP is red.
Pneumatic tonometer
Tono pen
This is handheld Mackay Marg type tonometer
It is a computerised pocket tonometer
It converts IOP into electric waves
Cont…
•The wave form is internally analyzed by a
microprocessor.
•Three to six estimations of the pressure are
then averaged.
•The instrument is 18 cm in length and weighs
60 g.
NON-CONTACT TYPE
•Air puff tonometer :-In this central part of
cornea is flattened by a jet of air . This
tonometer is very good for mass screening as
there is no danger of cross infection and local
anaesthetic is not required.
•Pulse air tonometer :-It is a non-contact
tonometer that can be used with the patient
in any position.
