🩺 Eye Pressure Testing at Damith Atukorale Opticians

At Damith Atukorale Opticians, we understand that protecting your vision goes beyond just checking how clearly you see. One of the most important parts of an eye examination is eye pressure testing — a simple, painless procedure that plays a vital role in detecting glaucoma and other eye conditions.

🌟 Why Eye Pressure Testing Is Important

• Early Detection of Glaucoma – Glaucoma is known as the “silent thief of sight” because it often has no symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Eye pressure testing helps us identify the risk at an early stage.

• Monitoring Eye Health Over Time – Even if your initial pressure readings are normal, regular testing helps us track any changes over the years.

• Identifying Other Eye Conditions – Increased or decreased pressure may indicate problems such as ocular hypertension or even damage to the optic nerve.

• Peace of Mind – A quick test gives you reassurance about the overall health of your eyes.

🧪 How Eye Pressure Testing Works

During your eye examination, our optometrists may perform one of the following tests:

✅ Non-Contact Tonometry (Air Puff Test) – A quick puff of air is directed onto the eye’s surface to measure pressure. It is painless and widely used.

✅ Applanation Tonometry – A more precise method where a small device gently touches the cornea after applying numbing drops.

✅ Handheld Tonometry – Ideal for children, elderly patients, or those who may not be comfortable with traditional methods.

All methods are safe, fast, and provide accurate results that help us detect potential eye health issues.
