Check out this month's instructional video— “Eye tonometry.” Tonometry is a method of measuring intraocular pressure to screen for ocular hypertension and glaucoma. Undiagnosed glaucoma can lead to devastating effects; screening efforts are essential to its detection at the earliest possible stage, as most people with ocular hypertension do not experience any symptoms. The video reviews the equipment and technique required for this procedure.
