Tonometry Testing for Intraocular Pressure in Pets – Plano, TX
Tonometry is a quick, painless test used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) inside your pet’s eyes. At Animal Eye Specialists in Plano, we use this test to detect conditions like glaucoma and uveitis early—before they cause irreversible vision damage.
Why Eye Pressure Testing Matters
Elevated or reduced intraocular pressure can be a sign of serious eye disease. Glaucoma, in particular, progresses rapidly and can lead to blindness without early diagnosis. Our tonometry test helps identify pressure abnormalities so treatment can begin immediately.
How the Test Is Performed
Our veterinary team uses a handheld tonometer that gently touches the surface of your pet’s eye. The process is quick and well-tolerated by most pets. In many cases, a numbing eye drop is used to keep your pet comfortable during the procedure.
