Tonopen

The TONOVET is used to measure the pressure in your pets eye. A pet with a red eye normally has an eye infection. The TONOVET allows the vet to measure the eye pressure in a safe and painless way.  Our veterinarians need an accurate reading of your pet’s eye pressure to properly assess eye infections and potentially save the eye.
