  • Title: A new handheld air impulse tonometer.
    Author: Fisher JH, Watson PG, Spaeth G.
    Journal: Eye (Lond); 1988; 2 ( Pt 3)():238-42. PubMed ID: 3042469.
    Abstract:
    A new type of non-contact tonometer is described. The instrument is handheld and incorporates a system which automatically generates the measuring pulse of air when the alignment is correct. A brief description of the design and the results of clinical trials are presented. These establish a good correlation with paired Goldmann readings (correlation coefficient, r = 0.88 to 0.95, standard deviation, S.D. 1.56 to 2.66 mm Hg).
