Safety & accuracy on contact

Clement Clarke originally developed the popular Perkins tonometer during the 1970s. Over time, it has been updated and improved, creating an ergonomic design, as well as giving the instrument a longer-lasting battery and enhanced internal LED illumination. An ideal portable applanation tonometer for use outside the traditional consulting room environment, the Perkins Mk3 is compatible with the Tonosafe disposable tonometer prism, which is recognised as the ideal solution for reducing the risk of cross-infection.

Portable

The hand-held Perkins tonometer has been specifically designed to examine patients who can be difficult to assess by traditional applanation tonometry methods. These include; bed-ridden, wheelchair-bound, paediatric and community-based patients.

LED illumination

Built-in LED illumination produces an enhanced image of the tonometer mires, permitting use regardless of ambient lighting conditions. It also produces lower operating temperatures, giving greater comfort to both operator and patient.

Use disposable or reusable prisms

The Perkins Mk3 is compatible with Tonosafe disposable prisms, so there is no need to disinfect or sterilise prisms when using outside the traditional clinic environment. It is also compatible with reusable Goldmann prisms.
