Non-contact tonometer

   
   

A beam of acoustic energy comprising acoustic radiation and the associated acoustic streaming of an ultrasonic beam is used to indent or applanate (flatten) the eye. These two effects produce acoustic pressure on the eye which partially overcomes the IPO of the eye. A concurrent determination of acoustic pressure and the distortion of the eye allows one to determine the IOP.
