BIOLOGY | MEDICAL | HEALTH on Instagram: "Doctors detect eye pressure, also called intraocular pressure (IOP), using a tonometry test. There are two main methods: non-contact tonometry, which uses a puff of air to measure how much your cornea moves, and applanation tonometry, which involves numbing the eye with drops and gently touching the cornea with an instrument to measure the force needed to flatten it.

This is Goldmann Applanation Tonometry👀 This is how we check intraocular pressures of the eyes at your yearly exams. The medication numbs the eye so that you can’t feel it gently touch the surface of the cornea. It is used to detect diseases such as glaucoma! Would you rather have this or the puff of air?
