USING AN ICARE TONOMETER IS A SAFE CHOICE FOR YOU AND YOUR PATIENTS
Measuring with an Icare tonometer is free from air puff, anesthesia, drops or other preparation. The Icare tonometers enable hygienic and effortless eye pressure measurement that is barely noticed by the patient, making it suitable for all patients from the very young, to the older generation, even for post-surgical applications.
The Icare tonometers are safe because of the use of a single-use probe.
The Icare tonometers do not create microaerosol formations while a risk of crosscontamination may be present during microaerosol generating procedures like air puff tonometry [1-2].
