Perkins Hand Held Applanation Tonometer
The Perkins has been established for well over 20 years as a "world
standard" for hand held applanation tonometers.
Goldmann Standards
Based on Goldmann principles and utilising the original Goldmann or
Tonosafe disposable prisms, the Perkins combines proven technology
with the flexibility of a hand held instrument.
Portable
Post-operative, bed-ridden, and paediatric patients have always been
difficult to examine by traditional applanation tonometry methods. The
Perkins was designed specifically with these patients in mind.
Versatile and Accurate Tonometry
In busy clinics and practices with limited resources, there are times
when a hand-held applanation tonometer is more convenient and cost
effective for examining multiple patients.
Combined with convenience and versatility, the Perkins offers proven
accuracy and brilliant visibility. Precision counter-balanced movements
allow reading to be taken with the patient in any position. The
illumination system provides superior fluorescein, greatly enhancing the
familiar "semi-circles" which are vital to attaining accurate results. Every
Perkins Tonometer is calibrated to the highest quality standards and
comes with a signed and dated Certificate of Accuracy.
Examine at Arms Length
The optional Perkins Examination Telescope (P.E.T.) allows magnified
viewing of the fluorescein "semi-circles" at arms length, making
examinations more comfortable for both the ophthalmic professional
and the patient. And because the P.E.T. also makes it possible for two
people to view simultaneously, it can be used as an effective teaching
aid.
Accessories
The Perkins Tonometer comes standard with a lightweight, compact
carrying case, Goldmann Prism and battery operated handle taking four
AA size batteries. Accessories include a rechargeable handle and
recharging unit and Tonosafe disposable prisms.

Diagnostic and pediatric contact lenses the perfect complement to our slit lamps.
