Rule out glaucoma from your work up
- in less than 60 seconds

However, most vets believe it is clinically correct to screen for glaucoma, but do not screen for elevated IOP in their patients for the simple reason it is too difficult.....NOT ANY MORE!!

WITH TONOVET® YOU CAN TAKE IOP READINGS
IN LESS THAN 60 SECONDS – FOR BOTH EYES


The TonoVet® is a new hand held veterinary specific calibrated tonometer, which is:

  • Rapid
  • Safe
  • Accurate (For Cats, Dogs & Horses)
  • No anaesthetic required (no needs to wait 10 minutes)
  • Simple to use (laystaff prefer this method)
  • No calibration needed
  • Uses normal batteries
  • Reliable

With 1000’s of veterinary users worldwide and now with 3rd generation veterinary specific software – the TonoVet® is clinically tested and is accurate on cats, dogs and horses.

TonoVet® uses a new-patented technology based on «rebound» method. A very light probe makes momentary (feather light) contact with the central cornea. This rapid process will not create any discomfort to the patient: in most cases, the animal does not even blink and does not realise the probe has touched the eye.

TonoVet® disposable probes guarantees microbiological safety.

TONOVET is intended for use by general veterinary practitioners, veterinary ophthalmologists and other veterinary medical personnel.

When to measure intraocular pressure:

  • Annual monitoring of 42 breeds of cats/dogs (and their crossbreeds) predisposed to glaucoma
  • Red eye cases
  • Head trauma
  • Eye trauma
  • Geriatric exams
  • Nurse clinics

It is widely accepted that certain canine and feline breeds and their crossbreeds should be screened for these conditions as Glaucoma is primarily inherited. Further to this a number of cases are developed due to eye disorders including luxation of the lens, tumours of the eye, and uveitis (inflammation of the eye).

However, very few vets realise IOP should be measured in all red eyes for which the cause is not immediately obvious, and in eyes with unexplained pupillary abnormalities, corneal oedema, or visual impairment, particularly if these signs occur in a dog that is of a breed with a predisposition to glaucoma.

The different cases of glaucoma (primary, secondary and congenital) cannot be cured but can be controlled. Early Detection is the only way of controlling glaucoma.

The following are dog and cat breeds, which are known to have a predisposition to glaucoma:

Afghan, Akita, Alaskan, Malamute, Basset Hound, Beagle, Border Collie, Boston Terrier, Bouvier Des Flandres, Cairn Terrier, Cardigan Welsh Corgi, Chihuahua, Dachshund, Cocker Spaniel, Chow Chow, Dalmatian, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, English Springer Spaniel, Giant Schnauzer, Great Dane, Maltese, Manchester Terrier, Miniature Pincher, Norfolk Terrier, Norwegian Elkhound, Norwich Terrier, Saluki, Poodle, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Samoyed, Scottish Terrier, Shih Tzu, Siberian Husky, Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, Tibetan Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Whippet, Smooth-Coated Fox Terrier, Persians, Siamese

First of all because tonometery is the only way to detect glaucoma early and allows you to offer the right treatment and service for your client, like any other service which helps your customers’ pets, this offers true value to your practice.

In addition to providing best medical practice, the TonoVet® also opens up a new income stream for your surgery.

How many of the above predisposed breeds or crossbreeds do you see a daily basis? Many of these are expensive breeds and the owners want to know that they are fit and well.

The TonoVet® has a quick return on investment. Which means it is healthy for your patient and your practice.
