Glaucoma Screening
Painless, No Anesthesia, No Ointments, Immediate Results
This screening is done in the exam room in a matter of seconds on dogs, cats, and rabbits.
Our Glaucoma Screening is done with the most accurate device available called the TonoVet. The use of tonometry to measure Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP) is for screening of glaucoma in veterinary patients. If used to establish a baseline, it can also help to catch other medical conditions early on. Ask us if your pet is a candidate.
How Does the TonoVet Work?
The TonoVet utilizes a new technology called “rebound” tonometry. The portable hand-held unit is about 1/4" away from the cornea. At the push of a button, a tiny probe painlessly and rapidly reaches out and touches the cornea. Six rapid measurements are successively taken within seconds. An audible beep tells of a successful result, which is displayed digitally.
