  • Title: Tonometer-induced corneal injury: a report of two cases.
    Author: Nwosu NN.
    Journal: Cent Afr J Med; 1992 Jul; 38(7):307-9. PubMed ID: 1477882.
    Abstract:
    To avoid cross-infection, tonometers are sterilised before use on patients. When not carefully handled, the sterilising solutions could cause ocular injury. Two cases of corneal damage caused by alcohol used in sterilising the Schiotz tonometer are reported. Suggestions are made on how to avoid such iatrogenic injuries.
