MEASUREMENT
NOTE
If you do not use the tonometer, it will switch off automatically after 3 minutes.
NOTE
No anesthetic is required when performing measurements. *Since local anesthetic may lower the tonometer
reading, we recommend that you refrain from using an anesthetic when performing measurements.

If necessary, adjust the distance
by turning the forehead support
