OBJECTIVE: To compare the TonoVet rebound tonometer with the Tono-Pen Vet applanation tonometer in a larger number of glaucomatous eyes and to evaluate the effect of different corneal pathologies on…
PURPOSE: One of the most common medical problems seen in the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) is ocular disease. Glaucoma is a disease that has not been evaluated extensively in…
ABSTRACT: Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is a common procedure during eye examinations in birds. Differences in the IOP between avian species have been reported, which suggests the need to establish…
ABSTRACT: To determine the accuracy and reproducibility of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the TonoVet rebound tonometer in cynomolgus macaques and to determine the effects of corneal thickness on…
OBJECTIVE: To validate intraocular pressure (IOP) readings obtained in cats with the TonoVet tonometer. Animals studied IOP readings obtained with the TonoVet were compared to IOP readings determined by manometry…
INTRODUCTION: For many years the Tonopen has been the standard, hand-held tonometer for veterinary use, providing an electronic measurement of intraocular pressure widely accepted throughout veterinary ophthalmology. It has some…
ABSTRACT: Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured with the TonoVet rebound tonometer in 10 raptor species, and possible factors affecting IOP were investigated. A complete ophthalmic examination was performed, and IOP…
OBJECTIVE: To examine the practical aspects, accuracy, and reproducibility of 2 new automatic handheld tonometers in dogs and compare them with results for 2 established applanation tonometers. Animals—15 freshly enucleated…
ABSTRACT: Cats with glaucoma typically present late in the course of disease. It is likely that glaucoma in cats is under-diagnosed due to its insidious onset and gradual progression, as…
