The Applanation Tonometer is a

specialized device used to measure

intraocular pressure, crucial for

diagnosing glaucoma. It works by gently

flattening a small area of the cornea and

is often attached to a slit lamp for

accuracy. This equipment is primarily

used in ophthalmology clinics and

hospitals during eye health assessments.

Its precise measurements help in

monitoring and managing eye pressure

effectively.
