Intraocular Pressure
Aka: Intraocular Pressure, IOP, Schiotz Tonometry, Anterior Chamber Depth, Tonometry, Tonometer, Applanation Tonometry, Goldmann Tonometer, Tono-Pen, Pneumatonometer, Air-Puff Tonometry, Non-contact Tonometry, Digital Tonometry, Applanation Tonometer, Ocular Hypotony- Indications
- Techniques: Applanation Tonometry - Intraocular Pressure measurement
- Background
- Applanation devices measure the amount of pressure needed to flatten a small portion of the Cornea
- Apply Topical Eye Anesthetic to Cornea before testing
- Goldmann Tonometer
- Slit-lamp based device that offers most accurate Intraocular Pressure measurement
- Portable electronic Applanation Tonometers (e.g. Tono-Pen, Accupen)
- Accurate Tonometry alternative to the Goldmann Tonometer
- Non-contact Tonometers (air-puff)
- Least accurate Tonometry method, but no Topical Anesthetic needed
- Schiotz (older, manual method, rarely used in U.S.)
- Requires a skilled, practiced clinician to use accurately
- Scale <3.5 (5.5g plunger) recheck with 7.5g plunger
- Scale <6.0 (7.5g plunger) recheck with 10g plunger
- Scale <8.5 (10g plunger) recheck with 15g plunger
- Scale <11.0 (15g plunger)
- Background
- Interpretation
- Normal Intraocular Pressure
- Intraocular Pressure 8 to 21 mmHg
- Elevated Intraocular Pressure (Glaucoma)
- Intraocular Pressure > 21.5 mmHg
- Decreased Intraocular Pressure (Ocular Hypotony)
- Intraocular Pressure <5 mmHg
- Normal Intraocular Pressure
- Exam: Less accurate methods to estimate Intraocular Pressure
- Eye pressure applied through upper Eyelid
- Firmer eye suggests a higher Intraocular Pressure
- Anterior Chamber Depth
- Penlight illumination of anterior chamber
- Normal
- Illumination from lateral side lights entire iris
- Abnormal (increased pressure)
- Iris is bowed forward and nasal side is in shadow
- Nasal iris is not illuminated
- Eye pressure applied through upper Eyelid

Tonometer (C0183969) |
|
|---|---|
| Definition (UMD) | Measuring instruments designed to determine intraocular pressure. These instruments may use several different techniques: applanation, indentation, and noncontact (air puff) tonometry. Tonometers can be attached to a slit lamp, and portable and handheld devices are also available. Ophthalmic tonometers are mainly intended for assessing ocular hypertension (intraocular pressure between 10 and 24 mm Hg is considered normal), usually to screen patients for glaucoma. |
| Definition (NCI) | A handheld instrument that provides a measurement of intraocular pressure. |

Applanation tonometer (C1271524) |
|
|---|---|
| Definition (UMD) | Ophthalmic tonometers designed to determine intraocular pressure by measuring the force required to flatten the cornea apex by a fixed amount. These instruments are typically small and reusable instruments and are attached to a slit lamp; the tonometer includes a tip to be applied to the cornea and a manually controlled spring that applies a variable force on the cornea through the tip. The application of the tonometer tip flattens the cornea, producing a thin circular outline that is split into two green semicircles when viewed through the slit lamp oculars; then the force applied is adjusted until both semicircles just overlap and the force value is shown in the instrument scale as pressure (typically in mm Hg). Handheld (electronic penlike devices) and pneumatic applanation tonometers (i.e., pneumatotonomers) are also available. Applanation ophthalmic tonometers (e.g., Goldman and Barraquer types) can measure the amount of force applied; they are intended mainly for assessing ocular hypertension (intraocular pressure between 10 and 24 mm Hg is considered normal), usually to screen patients for glaucoma. |
