Tonometers measure intraocular pressure: applanation, non-contact (air puff) and rebound models are all sold on EyeCareDirect.

What to check before you buy

  • Calibration and when it was last checked.
  • Probes, tips or prisms included, and their availability.
  • For non-contact models: printer, power and connectivity.

Common questions

How do I check a used tonometer is accurate?

Ask when it was last calibrated or verified and whether a calibration check tool is included. Sellers can tick "Calibrated in the last 12 months".

Are single-use tips included?

Check the listing. Rebound and applanation tonometers need probes or prisms; ask the seller what is included and where to buy more.

Which type is best for my practice?

Non-contact tonometers suit fast screening by staff; applanation is the clinical standard; rebound tonometers are portable and need no anesthetic. Many practices use more than one.
