Hello people,
Just wanted to let you all know that I have bought a new tonometer to carry with me while not at home using the AT555.
After long time discussing with David I have decided to buy a new iCare tonometer, it is very compact so can be used travelling and at work.
Hello,
As mentioned I will discuss pressure today. I have a mechanical engineering background and process pressures is one of the parameters I work with every day.
The intraocular pressure of an eye, IOP, is measured in mmHg which stands for millimetre Mercury column. In the old days barometers were U shaped glass tubes filled with Mercury and the height of the Mercury indicated barometric pressure.
Hi Dave and others
Can you give your opion on Diaton portable tonometer for home and personal use?
I dont know the cost. But sounds may not be that costly.

Dave, hello again,
Another question regarding tonometers. Can you comment on the differences between Tono-Pen XL and Tono-Pen Avia? The price difference is quite significant, while many other thing are quite the same. What do you think about Tono-Pen tonometers use for self-tonometry?
Thanks again.
EDITOR: this is a very old study. The tonometer discussed here (the original Keeler Pulsair) is no longer manufactured. The current Keeler Pulsair models do not work for self-tonometry due to design changes.
