Tonometry (Eye Pressure) FAQs
Just a few common questions about Tonometry (Eye Pressure). If there is something else you need to know just ask in the Contact Us form below!
Is it painful?
No. With the local anesthetic drops, your pet won’t feel the probe at all. Most pets are more annoyed by us holding their head still than the test itself!
How often is it done?
It is often performed as a routine screen, especially in high-risk breeds, or during any comprehensive eye examination.
How long does it take?
Usually 2–5 minutes, including multiple readings per eye.
Will my pet need sedation?
Almost never. Calm handling and gentle restraint are usually enough.
