Reports that optometric tonometry identifies high eye pressure in patients, potentially preventing vision loss.
Mackay‐Marg tonometer readings for 26 eyes (13 patients seen in an optometric practice) arc compared to Goldmann applanation tonometer readings obtained by an ophthalmologist. The data emphasize the importance of optometric tonometry as a means of identifying eyes with abnormally high pressures before any loss of visual field has occurred.
