Tonometry exam
no it is an applanation tonometry
Tonometry is the test that measures intraocular pressure.
Tonometry measures intraocular pressure (i.e. checks for glaucoma).

Tonometry may be included in an eye examination to measure the intraocular pressure, which can help in diagnosing conditions such as glaucoma.

Tonometry is a diagnostic test conducted to measure the pressure inside the eye. It is commonly used to assess for conditions such as glaucoma, where increased intraocular pressure can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss. Tonometry can be performed using various methods, including 'air puff', applanation, or handheld devices.
Tonometry checks the pressure of the eye

The pressure reading test of the eye is called tonometry. It measures the intraocular pressure (IOP) to help detect conditions such as glaucoma. The most common method involves using a tonometer, which can be either non-contact (air puff) or contact-based. Regular tonometry is essential for monitoring eye health and preventing vision loss.
There are three common ways: through a pupil dilation test, through tonometry, or through a visual acuity chart.
