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

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 (nurses prefer this method)
• No calibration needed
• Uses normal batteries
• Reliable With 1000s of veterinary users worldwide
• Veterinary specific software the TonoVet is clinically tested and is accurate on cats, dogs and horses
• TonoVet disposable probes guarantees microbiological safety
• TonoVet is also gentle - better than a poke in the eye with a pen!

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

Indications 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 , 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
