Goldmann Applanation Tonometry in Mumbai


Renowned globally as the "Gold Standard" for accuracy and reliability, the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer is a time-tested device used to measure Intraocular Pressure (IOP) at our Mumbai facility.

This tonometer works by gently flattening (applanating) a small area of the cornea to determine precise IOP readings. This measurement is critical for:

  • Early diagnosis of Glaucoma ("The Silent Thief of Sight").
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of glaucoma medications.
  • Routine eye health evaluations for patients over 40.

With its proven track record, Goldmann Applanation Tonometry continues to be a cornerstone in our comprehensive eye care services, ensuring that we detect high eye pressure before it causes irreversible vision loss.

Normal intraocular pressure generally ranges between 10 and 21 mmHg. However, "normal" can vary for each individual. Our doctors interpret your reading in the context of your overall eye health.
