USER FEEDBACK OPHTHALMOLOGISTS ”We purchased our TONOVET several years ago primarily for equine work. I’ts easy, accurate, fast and not probe to artifact. We then started to use it on cats. They are a species that don’t tolerate exam room insults. The greatest insult to a cat is topical anesthesia. It stings when it goes in and the exam is over! Cats toler- ate pressure checks with the TONOVET. Birds, reptiles, tortoises and other exotics are the same. Our technicians perform most of the tonometery and much prefer the TONOVET rebound tonometry on all species because of the reliability and lack of artifact. We will be mocing to rebound tonometry as a sole means of pressure assess- ments. I am a convert.” - Ann Gratzek, DVM, DipACVO, Aptos, CA, USA - “The TONOVET is an excellent product for small animal clinics. It is accurate, easy for doctors and technicians to master and gentle on patients. It does not require topical anesthesia and only contacts a very small area of the cor- nea, making it ideal for fractious or painful patients.” - K. Myrna, DVM, MS, DipACVO ,Athen’s, GA, USA - “The TONOVET rebound tonometer is easy to use, there is no use for the topical anesthesia to get the reliable read- ings and patients tolerate the measuring procedure well. Furthermore the measurements are reliable even with very low intraocular pressures” - Prof. Esmeralda, DVM, Portugal - “I love the TONOVET, I’ve used it for 4 years now and it works really nice. Now I’m able to take IOP on very small animals and birds that were not possible to measure with other tonometers. TONOVET does not need topical anes- thesia, which is GREAT!” - Rui Oliveira, DVM, CertOphthal MRCVS, Lissabon, Portugal - “I love TONOVET, it’s brilliant. It can be used on various animals without any pain or anesthetic. I have just used it on a small bird, a rat etc.” - David Williams, MA, VetMB, PhD, CertVOphthl, UK - ”I have been using the TONOVET for several years after switching from using a tono-pen. I find the TONOVET to be much easier to use and feel that it gives much more consistent results. It is particularly useful in coop- erative patients as it requires minimal restraint to use. TONOVET is ideal for general practice use as it is so user friendly and do not require very frequent use to be able to use accurately.” - Matthew Fife, DVM, DipACVO, Orlando, FL, USA - TESTIMONIALS “TONOVET is suitable for eyes with topical pain or for very small eyes.” - Areerat Kongcharoen, Nakhon Pathom, Thailand - The TONOVET is unreservedly the best tonometer I have used. It is so easy to use and the animals hardly even notice the tonometry. No topical anaesthetic is required, head positioning is not critical and restraint required is minimal. It can be used on patients post surgery when the eye is very tender, and even in the waiting room. Results are consistent and reliable. It is easy to use the TONOVET on almost every patient, even aggressive ones, and because it is so easy to use we use it on nearly all our patients, with the result that we are now diagnosing glaucomas in patients with normal looking eyes that we would not have bothered to performed tonometry on in the past. I can highly recommend the TONOVET. - Anita Dutton, DVM, Perth Veterinary Ophthalmologists, Australia - PRACTITIONERS “We are very excited about the recent purchase of a TONOVET tonometer which allows us to quickly and accurately diagnose potentially severe eye dis- eases in both dogs and cats. This very basic looking instrument is actually extremely high tech and takes rapid precise measurements of the fluid pressures inside the eye. The tonometer takes the measurement safely and pain free with the vast majority of patients not knowing that anything happened. The instruments used in the past were very poor in measuring subtle changes to pressures in the eye, while the TONOVET tonometer allows us to diagnose diseases such as glaucoma and uveitis in the early stages with amazing ease and confidence.” - Morgan Animal Hospital, Niagara Falls, ON, Canada - “Since purchasing the TONOVET we use it on every exam whether it is a routine exam or not. We feel it creates value and impresses the client. I would say 95% of both dogs and cats tolerate it very well. We have diagnosed borderline glau- coma several times without clinical signs.” - Brent Husband, DVM, Animal Care Clinic, Wilsonwille, USA - “In our equine practice, the TONOVET has been very helpful with the ‘abnormal’ eye. I do not have to do nerveblocks or topical numbing to get an ac- curate reading, and I rearely need to tranqualize a patient. Easy to use and consistent results once you are comfort- able using it.” - Ken Kuckler, DVM, Burton, USA - 22 WWW.ICARETONOMETER.COM
