A new portable applanation tonometer.
A portable applanation tonometer consisted of a Goldmann applanation doubling prism mounted on a dynamometer. Results obtained on 100 consecutive eyes showed a good correlation with the standard slit-lamp mounted applanation tonometer. This portable tonometer is small and easy to use, utilizing the same end point as the standard Goldmann tonometer. In addition, the patient may assume almost any position.
