Schiotz Tonometer Uses
The Schiotz Tonometer is primarily used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) for screening and monitoring glaucoma, as well as for other tonometry procedures.
- Provides a precise calculation of the eye’s IOP.
- Efficiently measures the depth of the cornea’s surface.
- Calibrates the scale easily in multiple scenarios.
- Easily follows the contour of the cornea.
- Prevents the risk of trauma.

What is the Schiotz Tonometer used for?
A Schiotz tonometer is used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP), which is important for screening and monitoring glaucoma, an eye condition that can damage the optic nerve if left untreated.
How does the Schiotz Tonometer work?
The Schiotz Tonometer creates an indentation by applying a known weight to the cornea. Afterward, the indentation depth is measured, and the surgeons calculate the IOP using the conversion table.
