title: MEASUREMENT OF INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE USING TONOVET® IN EUROPEAN POND TURTLE (EMYS ORBICULARIS).
abstract: Twenty-two captive adult European pond turtles (12 males and 10 females) were unrestrained without sedation while intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by means of a Tonovet®. Mean±SD IOP values between 8 and 10 am for all turtles were 5.42±0.96 mm Hg (range, 3-9 mm Hg). IOP between the right and left eye and between males and females was not significantly different. There was no correlation between IOP and body weight or body length of animals.
