Why The Air Puff Test? - 2 Alternatives To Measuring Eye Pressure

The air puff test is one of the most dreaded tests at the eye doctor. But, it's important to measure intraocular pressure (eye pressure) to test for Glaucoma. This video goes over the importance of the non-contact tonometer (air puff), as well as two alternatives to measuring eye pressure.

WHAT IS DISCUSSED IN THIS VIDEO
The non-contact tonometer does a great job at screening for irregular eye pressure to test for glaucoma. There are other alternatives to measure intraocular pressure as well. Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is consider the gold standard at measure eye pressure. It does require a numbing eye drop to obtain the measurement. Another option is called the Icare Tonometer. No air or eye drops are required to get this measurement, and can be fairly reliable and accurate when done right. A lot of patients prefer this method over the others.
