Tonometer refers to a portable medical device used to determine the intraocular and fluid pressure within the eye. It consists of a metal plunger and flat-tipped probes that are pressed gently against the surface of the eye. It is utilized for the diagnosis and evaluation of patients at risk of developing glaucoma that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss in severe cases. Tonometers do not require fluorescein dye or topical anesthesia for operation and they also minimize the risks of developing infections and corneal abrasions. As a result, they are widely used in hospitals, eye clinics and ophthalmic centers.

Tonometer Market Trends:
The increasing prevalence of glaucoma among the masses is one of the key factors driving the market growth. Moreover, the rising geriatric and diabetic population, which is more prone to eye-related disorders, is contributing to the escalating demand for tonometers. The widespread adoption of the applanation tonometry across healthcare centers is also providing a thrust to the market growth. The test measures the amount of force needed to temporarily flatten a portion of the cornea and is thus extensively utilized for the assessment of intraocular pressure (IOP). In addition to this, the development of rebound tonometry is favoring the market growth. Rebound tonometry is suitable for children and patients with disabilities and assists in taking measurements at different corneal locations. Other factors, including the rising awareness among patients regarding the benefits of regular monitoring and early diagnosis of excessive IOP to prevent vision loss, along with the increasing number of eye checkup camps and glaucoma screening programs, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
