The Schiotz Tonometer offers a wide array of advantages for evaluating patients at risk of glaucoma. Its principal use is to provide an accurate calculation of the eye’s IOP.
For this purpose, the instrument features a V-shaped mount with a scale that measures the corneal surface’s depth. In addition, the device includes a pointer/lever system that marks the scale between 0 and 20. The specialist analyses the resulting number with a conversion table to get the exact IOP.
Moreover, the Schiotz Tonometer includes a plunger system with three different weights to calibrate the scale. The weight range of these pieces varies from 5.5 to 10.0 grams. Also, the operator can easily slide the weights into the assembly pin using a V-shaped keyway.
Additionally, the instrument has a curved footplate at its bottom, which follows the contour of the cornea. As a result, the specialist can place the device on the eye without risk of trauma.
Manufactured in premium grade stainless steel to ensure the highest quality instruments in your operating rooms.

Schiötz Tonometer
SURTEX® Schiötz Tonometer is an extremely useful ophthalmological tool, which eye specialists use to measure the intraocular pressure (IOP) during tonometry procedures. The Norwegian ophthalmologist Hjalmar August Schiötz presented this device in 1905, and since then it has been a reliable tool to evaluate glaucoma patients.
- 5.5, 7.5 & 10.0g Weights to Suit All Applications.
- Curved Footplate to Follow the Cornea’s Shape.
- Ergonomic Finger Rests Ensuring Maximum Control.
