Ophthalmic tonometer Icare TA01i

More about the product

The Icare tonometer is used to diagnose, monitor, and screen glaucoma

Based on the new IOP measurement principle, the Icare portable contact tonometer allows you to measure the patient's IOP with maximum efficiency and accuracy without the use of painkillers.

The principle of operation is based on the instant contact of a disposable, easily replaceable sensor with patient's cornea. The moment of contact is so insignificant in time, and the weight of the sensor is so small that the measurement does not cause the patient unpleasant sensations and allows you to make measurements without the use of painkillers, which, in turn, allows you to significantly increase the accuracy and decrease time of measurements. Intraocular pressure is not constant; it depends on patient's pulse, respiratory movements, eyeball movements and body position. Since the test is performed while holding tonometer in doctor's hands for 1 second, several measurements are necessary to obtain an accurate result. 6 measurements are programmed, but the result can be seen after the first successful measurement.

During the measurement process, there is no risk of bacteriological contamination, since disposable sensors are used.

Advantages of the new method:

• Instantaneous, non-visible to patient measurements ;
• Highest measurement accuracy;
• Almost does not cause a corneal reflex;
• No painkillers are used;
• Reliable and harmless, since the force applied to the eye is very small.
