Eye Pressure Measurement

Eye Pressure Measurement (Tonometry) – Chokher Seba Hospital

Eye Pressure Measurement, medically known as Tonometry, is an essential test performed at Chokher Seba Hospital to evaluate the pressure inside the eye, also called Intraocular Pressure (IOP). Maintaining normal eye pressure is crucial for protecting the optic nerve and preventing vision loss. Tonometry is one of the most important tests for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, a silent eye disease that often progresses without noticeable symptoms.

 

By accurately measuring eye pressure, our specialists can detect early signs of glaucoma and start timely treatment.

·         Eye pressure testing helps in:

·         Detecting glaucoma in early stages

·         Monitoring glaucoma treatment effectiveness

·         Assessing risk of optic nerve damage

·         Evaluating conditions like ocular hypertension

·         Checking eye health after injuries or surgeries

 

At Chokher Seba Hospital, we use modern and safe tonometry techniques, including:

·         Non-contact (air puff) tonometry – quick and comfortable

·         Applanation tonometry – highly precise and reliable

 

The procedure is simple, painless, and takes only a few seconds. It is recommended for adults, especially those with risk factors such as diabetes, family history of glaucoma, high eye pressure, or advanced age.

Our team ensures accurate measurements and thorough eye health evaluation, helping preserve vision and prevent long-term complications through early detection.
