The following instructions should be observed to ensure
the safety of patients:
Avoid examinations in cases of eye infections or injured corneas
• There is no known contraindication for performing tonometry. Medical assessment
is necessary and due care is to be exercised in cases of eye infections and injuries
to the cornea.
Only clean and disinfected measuring prisms should be used
• Examinations should be conducted with cleaned and disinfected measuring
prisms.
• Tonometer prisms are not dispatched in a disinfected state and should always be
disinfected before use.
• The disinfecting of contact glasses e.g. with cotton wool or a damp cloth without
putting them into disinfecting fluid is insufficient and should not be allowed.
• Incorrect medical disinfecting can cause patients to be infected and can also
cause damage to the eyes.
• Residue from the disinfecting may cause a caustic reaction to the patient's eye,
therefore rinse thoroughly.
