Our experience with TONOVET tonometers has been truly life changing. Home monitoring has been absolutely essential for us, as our dog Hiro, a Shiba Inu, has a very typical case of glaucoma that requires close and consistent follow-up.
Measuring the IOP is an intrinsic part of any eye examination, certainly when faced with a congested sclera, corneal edema, sluggish PLR and as a standard in breeds susceptible to increased IOP due to their genetic background. IOP measurement is key to an effective glaucoma treatment as well as uveitis treatment and in case of a glaucoma patient, it should be performed on a regular base throughout the life of the patient, as the disease is progressive.
